NEWARK, N.J. - The Flyers and Devils had little in common entering Thursday night's matchup at the Prudential Center. The Flyers had won 11 out of their last 13 games while the Devils had slogged their way to seven consecutive losses, five of which had come by at least three goals.
But recent results mattered little once the puck dropped. The Devils dispatched of the Flyers, 4-0, sending them home empty-handed heading into their five-day holiday break. The Flyers managed just 16 shots on goal in the defeat.
The Devils asserted themselves early in a chaotic first period.
