TAMPA, Fla. - Outside of a few early assists for center Pavel Zacha, the Devils third line of Zacha, plus wingers Devante Smith-Pelly and Beau Bennett, was off to a quiet start.
But the group has shown signs of traction over the past week.
Smith-Pelly recorded points in three straight games after none in his first five. Bennett got on the board for the first time when he set up Zacha's first career goal to tie the game and force overtime in an eventual loss against the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
