Nine games into his NHL career, Mackenzie Blackwood is starting to emerge as the Devils’ No. 1 goaltender.
Blackwood returned to the lineup after missing three games with an injury and made 32 saves in leading the Devils to a much-needed 3-2 victory over the Flyers on Saturday at Prudential Center.
“I can’t imagine how much pressure you have as a goalie if you make a mistake, it’s back in the net,” said Nico Hischier, who got the game-winning goal on a breakaway in the second period.
