And Demko is working again. That's probably their first full 60 mins of hockey of the season.

It’s shocking that playing a game where you don’t give up a dozen 2 on 1 breaks helps a struggling goalie find their grove.

The poise on the broken stick goal to get the change from the 4th line to Peteys and then exploit the missing stick. Very out of character.

Siegenthaler costing the same as Travis Hamonic (3rd rounder) is turning me into the joker

Hauling in Marino, Graves and Siegenthaler over the last two seasons is incredible GM work, with Luke Hughes and Nemec on the horizon is a pretty nasty d core to build around with Hughes and Hischier up front

Yeah Seamus Casey and Shakir Mukhamadullin look great too. I think Walsh and Bahl are NHLers as well but they might get squeezed.

that team routinely caved in very good teams. i anticipate they would have made the playoffs over a full season. unfortunately, their goaltending was decrepit. then kovalchuk left, elias looked his age and it was over

nice to get a couple of goals from those third line guys, I think that line has kinda been searching for an identity -- Sharangovich and Mercer work better with a playmaker imo and while Boqvist has played well he's more of a two way responsible type

Just had a quick look and the Devils have only made under 30 shots three times this season - in previous years it seemed like shooting on net was a mystery and only happened in open ice.

Man if the Devils could just add like another physical winger who wasn't poo poo 5v5. Getting Palat back is gonna be cool but it would be real nice to have someone to take a number when teams start taking runs like this

yeah it's interesting, defensively they remind me of a lot of past Devils teams, but offensively it's completely different, very little cycle game
