Week 18 was a brief one for the New Jersey Devils.
They played just one game, against the Tampa Bay Lightning, on Tuesday and are off until next Thursday. As has been the case too often this season, this was another heartbreaking loss for the Devils.
They blew an impressive 2-1 lead and although they were able to score three goals against the reigning back-to-back champions, goaltending let them down once again.
Although the Devils ended up losing the game 6-3, the rookie Dawson Mercer gave his team and the fans something to smile about.
