As it was a late night in New Jersey, this recap is broken up into a period-by-period summary. There will only be one more start past 10 PM ET this season after this one and it is way out in March. That said, the main summary of the game is simple. After taking time to “get going,” the San Jose Sharks rolled through the New Jersey Devils. They were better on and off the puck. Combined with Keith Kinkaid not having a good night, the defense being made to look foolish, and an offense that was kept at bay, it was a decisive loss for the Devils.
