The Devils visited Columbus, having won their last five road games in a row. Columbus, a very good team, played better than the 5-1 score showed, but were unable to beat a very tenacious Devils team.
The first very good chance actually went to Columbus. Columbus was able to get a 2-on-1 opportunity, and Nick Foligno opted to make it into a one on one against Schneider. He wristed it, and Schneider saved it. His first of many good saves on the night.
The Devils then scored a lucky goal, in the sense that Zach Werenski lost his stick.
