Last season, it took four games for the New Jersey Devils to enter their first shootout of the season. It took eight games into the 2015-16 season for the Devils to win their first shootout. Tonight was the twelfth game of the 2016-17 season for the Devils and they participated and won their first shootout of the season. Is this is symbolic of any kind of progress from one season to the next? Not really. But it’s nice to know. Just as it was nice for the New Jersey Devils to pick up the shootout win to make it a 3-2 result over the Carolina Hurricanes.
