In the second half of this weekend’s back to back, the New Jersey Devils picked up a big win in Buffalo. This was a huge win and needed to stay in the playoff hunt despite how early it is in the season made all the more impressive with how many players were missing from the roster. Joining an injured Nico Hischier, the Devils have now lost starting goalie Mackenzie Blackwood, top sniper Kyle Palmieri, and reliable veteran Travis Zajac.
