What a thriller inside the Prudential Center on military appreciation night Thursday. The Devils (10-5) defeated the Blues (7-7-2) 4-3 in overtime after the Devils blew a 4-1 third-period lead. 

Game Recap

First Period

What a fun start to this period and with some high-danger chances. The Blues generated a two-on-one, where Robert Thomas fed a cross-ice pass to Jimmy Snuggerud, but was stoned by Connor Hellebuyck.

It wasn’t long before the Devils received the first power play of the game. The Devils almost had a sure goal, but the Blues’ defenseman cleared the puck to keep the game tied at zero. The Devils continued to generate possession and pepper Jordan Binnington with shots. Finally, the dam broke and the Devils scored. 

With good puck possession in the zone, Jack Hughes fed a pass to the point where Brett Pesce slid the puck over to Luke Hughes. Hughes then fired a wrist shot that found its way through to make it 1-0. The Devils kept dominating possession and ultimately they maintained their lead heading into the second period. 

The Devils dominated the period. They held the edge in shot attempts 25-10 and dominated in shots on goal 15-3. The Blues didn’t register their second shot on goal until after midway through the period. As a team, they held the edge in scoring chances (16-4) and dominated the expected goals share 1.28-0.36. Every line after the first period had an expected goals for percentage above 60%.

Second Period 

Timo Meier got off to a rocking start to the period. He generated a good scoring chance, but hit the post as dead on as it could be. As the play went the other way, Jake Neighbours laid a big hit on captain Nico Hischier. Meier wasted no time dropping the gloves, which coincidentally gave the Blues a power play.

The Blues generated a great scoring chance, with Snuggerud right on the door step. Hellebuyck robbed him with the glove and flashed the leather. Eight minutes into the period, the Devils extended their lead. After a great keep inside the Blues zone by Jesper Bratt, he fed a pass to Anthony Mantha. Mantha then found Hughes, who gave it right back to Mantha for the easy tap in goal.

The Devils kept heading to the penalty box and saw Amadeus Lombardi go to the box for slashing. This time the Blues capitalized with the man advantage. A cross-ice pass by Colton Parayko found Robert Thomas, who scored his third goal of the season. Then, it was all Devils to end the period.

The Devils scored two goals to end the period and in a span of 19 seconds. The first goal was by Jesper Boqvist, who cut through to the front of the goal and put on a nifty deke to give the Devils insurance. After a giveaway by the Blues’ defense, it was off to the races for Mantha. 

Mantha skated in on a breakaway and slid a shot through the legs of Binnington. The Devils busted the game wide open to take a commanding 4-1 lead into the third period. 

This period was tighter contested at five-on-five play, despite the score being lopsided. Shot attempts were dead even at 16 each, but the shots on goal favored the Blues 10-8.
