Devils forwards had one of their best two-way games of the year and Oilers without McDavid were much like the Devils on Friday against the Flames; soft and content to play on the perimeter.

Not sure that equates to a "monster game" from Luke Hughes.
Did you watch the game? Hughes was a beast defending the net and on breakouts. Legit saved a goal with a stick check.

Those highlights didn't look too flattering outside of Allen. Take the W and run I guess.

It was a weird game. Bled great chances all through the first 2 periods bad. First period though they were also creating a lot of great looks. Not as many as them but there was like no defense played either way. Second period was really bad as we didn’t really create anything but still bled. 3rd was good. Pretty quiet period. I think we mostly shut it down in the 3rd well and got the better of the quality chances

This is the kind of game where we almost certainly didn't deserve to win but get the W and bank the points. We aren't usually on the positive side of those.

Hmm, they won both games I fell asleep early for and lost the only one I watched this road trip. Maybe I'm the problem

That's even better. Thank you, the highlight and compare is just what was needed.

Most of the shifts Nico took was against Draisaitl
That’s a tough matchup on the road. Hischier was above 50% on expected goals and scoring chances and high danger chances so not bad as a matchup effort for the third line.

Didn’t watch the game last night, however, I watched the Devils recap and it looked like we gave up several odd man rushes. Was that the case?
There were some chance trading and Allen was solid in those, but it settled down. We had a very solid 3rd period, so-so second.

The shot stats imply EDM was better, but not really the case for the 2nd half of the game.

If we have a 90pt 3C, it will be for the ages!
