11 straight wins. The New Jersey Devils were as hot as can be coming into today’s afternoon matchup against the Ottawa Senators, and it was a rematch of last week’s 4-3 overtime loss in New Jersey. Artem Zub was back in the lineup after missing nine games, and it was a big test for the Senators who were trying to get some momentum after winning two of their last three games.
It looked like Ottawa was going to get off to a good start as they hit a post and had some other Grade A chances on Akira Schmid, plus they got the first powerplay 3:49 into the game.
