Allen should be fine. Markstrom, guess we’ll see when they practice tomorrow

Tough night for the #NJDevils at 5v5, but Jake Allen and Markstrom got the job done, and special teams were flawless:

2/2 on the power play
5/5 on the penalty kill

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 20h

That's that. The #NJDevils survive and defeat the Blue Jackets 3-2.

2-1-0 on the season

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 20h

Dawson Mercer with the empty-net goal with 56 seconds left to give the #NJDevils a 3-1 lead

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 20h

Per the #NJDevils, Jake Allen left tonight's game with cramping

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 20h

Top 3 last season. Looks like they could be again

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 20h

One thing that's really impressed me with Gritsyuk is some of the little things. He makes good decisions with the puck. Good in 1v1 battles. Good breakout passes.

#NJDevils

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 21h

He is not

Lee Gottesman @leegottesman.bsky.social · 21h

Is Allen on the bench?

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 21h

Nothing yet

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 21h

The #NJDevils' penalty kill gets the job done again.

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 21h

Uh, Jacob Markstrom in net to begin the third period.

#NJDevils

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 21h

Much better 2nd for the #NJDevils at 5v5, but special teams have been the difference so far.

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 21h

Arseny Gritsyuk with an incredible pass to Dawson Mercer to give the #NJDevils a 2-1 lead.

2nd PPG of the night.

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 21h

Yeah, Marchenko ain't missing that

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 22h

The #NJDevils are winning this game 1-0. They were better after Meier scored, though

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 22h

Timo Meier with a power-play goal to give the #NJDevils a 1-0 lead.

Meier Madness in October?

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 22h

Arseny Gritsyuk forces a turnover and sets up Connor Brown for a high-danger chance, but Greaves there to make the save.

#NJDevils

Alex Chauvancy @alexcthw.bsky.social · 22h

Tremendous penalty kill by the #NJDevils. Jake Allen was excellent. Let's see if that gives them some momentum

Good Lord. That was more nervy than it needed to be at the end, but the #NJDevils hang on for the 5-3 win.
