The Devils are 0-2-2 now. If you look closely back at that game versus Edmonton, there are some slight tweaks to the lineup that turned out well. One of the first things you noticed in the first period, Kyle Palmieri scored on a 2-on-1 play where he shot instead of passed. It didn’t last long, as Leon Draisatl cashes in on a goal off the feed from Darnell Nurse. The Devils let up a goal, but they kept their calm, coolness, and their defensive structure intact.
Nikita Gusev stepped right into a pass from Swedish winger Jesper Bratt, and defenseman Connor Carrick created a big assist that gave the Devils a lead until a very good James Neal scored his 5th goal in two games.
