New Jersey’s road trip would see them out further west tonight against the Arizona Coyotes. Desiring six of eight points on this trip; the Devils would need a victory to even have a chance at that after dropping Thursday’s contest. After 65+ minutes of hockey, Jersey’s team would garner their first two points of the trip.
The Devils would jump out to an early 1-0 lead just 1:05 in on one of strangest hockey plays I’ve ever seenn. Kyle Palmieri made an excellent read and rushed two on maybe one half (Clayton Keller was behind both Palmieri and Nico Hischier) and as Darcy Kuemper made the initial save on Nico, Keller pushed the net off while trying to block the pass between the two Devils.
