Off the start of the first period, the Devils brought the heat against the Capitals, spoiling any Capital’s fans hopes that this would at least be an easy game. Stefan Noesen, playing on the second line with Blake Coleman and Drew Stafford, picked up the Devils first big scoring chance all alone in the slot with years of time to make a play. He actually made two, even picking up his own rebound but Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby has been incredible lately and gobbled up the puck so hard he took Noesen’s stick with him as well.
