New Jersey Devils defenseman Josh Jacobs (40): (Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports)
Josh Jacobs looked really good in the New Jersey Devils first scrimmage.
The New Jersey Devils played actual hockey on Sunday morning. There were referees, they kept score, one team won and one team lost. It was the closest thing we’ve had to Devils hockey since last March when the pandemic stopped everything. The Devils played a scrimmage with teams separated into a red and white team. The goalies wore black.
There was a lot to learn. Nick Merkley looked really good among the forwards, scoring two goals during the game then adding another one during the shootout.
