With a pair of home games remaining in 2018, the New Jersey Devils looked to build off of Thursday’s win at The Rock against the Carolina Hurricanes. Coach John Hynes would look to rookie MacKenzie Blackwood once again to lead the Devils to victory. Not only would MackBlack pick up his second NHL victory, but he would also leave today with his first NHL shutout.
The action started slow for the first portion of period one, with both teams trading some chances, but neither team really generating anything dangerous.The Devils did generate a few more shots on net and looked like the more dangerous team.
