There are two reasons why the New Jersey Devils win against the Philadelphia Flyers was the biggest of the season thus far.
For one, they finally beat the Flyers. The past two games they played against the Flyers went similarly to this one throughout the first two periods. In the first meeting on January 13th, they went into the third period down 3-2 just like Thursday night. On January 20th, they went in trailing 3-1. Both of those games ended in a loss.
During Thursday night’s third period, the Devils looked like a completely different team. The Devils were able to come together and put forth a great effort to get the win in regulation.
