The New Jersey Devils had a split-squad night on Monday when half of the group took on the Montreal Canadiens north of the Border and the other half took on the Boston Bruins at the Prudential Center. Both games had the proper amount of intrigue for the first night of preseason, but one particular storyline took over the night and it is the one we all wanted to see most.
Just to go over the game in Montreal a little bit, it is worth noting a few things. The Devils lost the game by a final score of 4-2.
