GDT: Flames @ Devils - 7:00 PM - MSG

[MauDevils]

HOW

Bratt pulling that to his backhand kind of jammed Hughes in close with the pass.

 

[Hisch13r]

Jack needs to be going far post there. He made that WAY too easy on Markstrom.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Jack needed to pull that farther to the left then it's an easy tap in.

 

[Lou is God]

Com'on Jack, you got to fuking bury that shit

 

[forceten]

Jack essentially received the pass in the crease. Bratt has to f***ing shoot there.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That's really bad by Jack. Needs to get wider.

 

[Devils090]

Jack needs to be going far post there. He made that WAY too easy on Markstrom.

Yeah way too narrow

 

[MartyOwns]

that was an unreal save

 

[The Wumpus]

Jack was a little too close and not far enough over

 

[Blender]

That was a must score. Botched 2on1 by two of our best players.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Ehh There wasn't much net open given how close Jack was to the pad, great save, pass too late.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Hughes didn’t take a great angle. He was in the center of the goal. Still should have scored.

 

[Hisch13r]

that was an unreal save

Meh. That was a much easier save than it should've been. He only had to slide over to the middle of the net.

 

[My3Sons]

Jack is skilled enough to lift that puck more. Pass could have had a better angle but the concept was sound

 

[Blender]

that was an unreal save

Not really. Hughes was not in a good position and Bratt sold pass the entire way.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That right there is also why the team really needs to put up 40 shots a game. They need volume because they just don't capitalize on glorious chances the way most teams would.

 

[Eggtimer]

Agh , first time able to use our speed , got an awesome chance but should have buried that.Good save but he saw the pass comjg from a mile away.

 

[Alex NJD]

Jack needs to be going far post there but Bratt also did not sell the shot at all

THE DEVILS ARE ON A 6 GAME WIN STREAK!

DEVILS (9-3-0) vs. FLAMES (5-4-2)

Head-to-Head:
It was just three nights ago that the Devils were visiting the Flames in Calgary and now the two teams are on the East Coast to close out their season series in a matter of days.

In the first matchup, the Devils earned themselves two points after Fabian Zetterlund scored at 2:38 in overtime. The victory extended New Jersey's win streak to six games.

The Flames were on the end of an eight-game homestand, the Devils handing them their fourth consecutive loss before they went out on the road.

Devils team scope:
The Western Canadian road trip sweep was something of the ages for the Devils. Wins in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary set the stage for a first six-game winning streak from Mar. 27, 2012, to Apr. 7, 2012, and the ability to go for seven straight for the first time since between Feb. 6, 2011, and Feb. 19, 2011.

Jesper Bratt continues to lead the team in points with 17, despite his point streak being halted, and left off the board against the Flames.

Bratt, Nico Hischier, and Miles Wood are tied for the lead in goals with five each.

Vitek Vanecek will get the start against the Flames after the announcement on Monday that Mackenzie Blackwood has been diagnosed with a knee injury, which is a sprained MCL.

Flames team scope:
The Calgary Flames opened the season playing nine out of their opening ten games of the season at home in Calgary, their lone road game in that span was their second game of the year, a 4-3 win in Edmonton. On Monday night, they played just their second away game, visiting the Islanders to start a three-game road trip.

As was the scenario against the Devils, the Flames lost to the Islanders in overtime on Monday night, stretching their losing streak to five consecutive games.

By the Numbers:
The last time that the Devils won seven consecutive games in a single season was from Feb. 6, 2011, to Feb. 19, 2011.

After Saturday's win in Calgary, the Devils improved to 4-0-0 when trailing first in a game this season.

The Flames power play is 0-for-13 in their last five games.

Injury Updates:

Devils
Jonathan Bernier (Hip - IR)
Ondrej Palat (Groin surgery - IR)
Mackenzie Blackwood (Knee, sprained MCL)

Flames
Michael Stone (undisclosed - IR)
Chris Tanev (upper-body)
Oliver Kylington (personal - IR)

The dog gets me every time! Well done! LFGD!!!

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Huge powerplay chance

 

[Eggtimer]

Everyone in the building knew Bratt was going to make that pass. Shoot it or fake doing somethimg instead of telegraphing his pass

 

[Devils090]

Alright capitalize here

 

[Hisch13r]

lol That rule is so broken

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

That right there is also why the team really needs to put up 40 shots a game. They need volume because they just don't capitalize on glorious chances the way most teams would.

Im not gonna generalize like that, other than say their transition is so dangerous they can generate glorious scoring chances like that in counter attack even if the other team is controlling play.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Maybe outshoot Calgary on this PP?
