Devils appear to be making a conscious effort to play the game at diagonals this game and it’s been paying dividends.
Most of the year the Devils have been mostly north/south and east/west.
Tonight, the passes and rimarounds are often targeting a guy at a diagonal rather than a guy parallel or perpendicular to the boards.
I don’t know if that’s just Anaheim doing a poor job and giving the Devils this or if it’s the Devils “clicking” on some stuff and creating these options. I’m guessing a bit of both.
