He lines right up there with Gritsuk is getting a chance to play with Mercer and Meyer tonight as Devil juggling some things on the line with the return of Stephan Mason. And I’m sure Gritsuk lining up against his Well, it’s going to be a key part of the game here from the Devil’s perspective. Look, this is your centering pass to Conand and it’s shifted down by Gumperson. But we’ve got a penalty as well. The Devils do. Marcus Felino going off. Look at this play by Dawson Mercer who’s centering this line of Conor and Brown 17. The way Dawson Mercer has played you go, well, he was on the top line. They were playing T. Well, Dawson Mercer uh is a very valuable guy and can fit in anywhere. And there’s the Rat holds it in. Goes into the corner favor. Centering pass goes back up top for Hamilton. Brat back to Hamilton. Tays up a shot. Save. Rebound. He sure couldn’t pull the trigger. Interchanging with right in the slot there, the bumper position there. And Douggee just getting it out towards the net right down. And we always say that if there’s a stick on the ice or redlection from up high there. All Devils on this power play as it’s got a minute nine to go. Brad back down low. Spin move by Heir, but it’s stick by Gerson. Back up top for Hamilton. And a bad save. Big save there. Thought it was one of his better all-around games. Six shots, three hits, three blocks. He was all over that game yesterday. Mason wins the power play part of that second unit. Hughes with a shot. Capri off looking for Bull. Doesn’t end up to get to him, but does deflect on net. Doors forced to make the save. Yeah, that’s a big save. First shot for the Wild. Aaron Bratton.

Oh, he can’t believe it. Devils still buzzing. A heave that gets gloved out of the air by Gustoson and he holds off. You look at the reaction from Mercer even after he shot the puck. He devils keep Brat cross ice pass to Dylan. Dylan with some room. Shot saved by Gustin. Rebound goes to Capri off and he’ll skate it out. He was wide open Brendan Dylan. Stolen back away by Brown trying to get it back behind the net but he’s checked off by Bull. Goes to the far boards where Dylan waits for it. Quick pass to Nemits. Now he finds Mercer. Tops off the bench to join the the bar. Ne with an instant shot that’s easily gloved away by Gustoson. And look, they’ve had to defend a bit at times. Um, but I think they’ve done a really good job and didn’t come out flat. Seanth with a shot and a save. Johansson trying to clear it back out. Nemits back down low. Carter looking for an angle. Drags it back to the high slot. [Music] Now to the hashtag back up top. Nezaves a shot deflected on. Gustoson with the save. Pretty good start to this period.

Passes back to Peshi who pinches. Backhand shot save. Rebound. Skips back out to the blue line. Great job by Jack to knock it out of the air. Here comes Luke. Back behind the net. Devils heating up. Crowd feeling it. Peshi skips through trying to break through a check of Pitlick and the Devils keep it alive. Lu with a blast and a belly save but Jack to the blue line stops at the blue line finds Brat. Brad Pratt shot save rebound kicks to the far wall. You know he’s a guy that will get you a big goal when you need it and you need all different types of parts and roles to have a successful team and I think Pot had a really good game yesterday. sneaks it in in front to counter and the Devils score. More hard work and persistence and the Devils draw first blood and take a one to nothing lead. Well, you talked about Paul Connor last couple games getting to the blue paint and he finally gets rewarded at home in front. Let’s take a look at a million dollar replay brought to you by the New Jersey Lottery. Remember, anything can happen in Jersey. And it’s just good hard work from the Devils off the face off as they get it deep. And Brown, what does he do? Simplicity. Tries to go to the net. The puck cars out. Fair block by Nemits. And Estrosa centering pass doesn’t get through. Felo back to Hartman. And a bell save by Daw and he holds on. Local TriState GMC dealer. Christ, those are deadly numbers. [Applause] So you’re right, stay out of the box at all costs. Deflects on in a fanning attempt by Eurovv as New Jersey will protect television right here for the second while keeping alive. Bulium finds Spurgeon. Stoleed away by Jack Hughes all alone on the breakaway. Saved by Gustin, but Devils stick with it. Rat fans on his pass, gets it back. He’s made some key saves. Here’s the Wild defenseman bobbling the puck. Jack Brown to the point through Carter. Mercer. He’s got Middleton to contend with. Carter comes out, flips it back to Nemits to Mercer. Mercer Dylan doesn’t waste any time with a shot and scores. He went since December 24 without a goal till last night. make it two in a row for the defenseman and it’s two nothing New Jersey. He’s heating up with two goals in two games and this is just a old-fashioned hard work lunch pale t kind kind of shift that results in a goal. Devils are the puck. They’ve got guys moving their feet getting to it quickly and Gustin aggressive finds Cabris off brings it back into the zone. Baldi backhand over the net didn’t miss by much. Was going the step of the right foot as he sacrificed to block that shot. Here’s the opportunity I’m talking about from Baldi. Airmail did um to really stay here and help this team win. Yeah, good stuff Bryce. I mean they’re in good hands it looks like moving forward. A little dicey at times this year where the cap wasn’t over the New Jersey Devils. Eurichek for slashing at 449. Devils 0 for one on the power play and they score his first NHL goal. Gritsuk on the power play and the Devils take a three nothing lead. What a wrist shot. [Applause] Four assists already waiting for that first goal and it’s right off the face off. Look at the release after the Devils win it. And the quick barista right here by our city grits. Johansson. Rossy can’t send it back as it’s blocked. Sticking with it as Johansson climbs to the slot. Still with it. Heaves a shot. Shoulder save by Daws. Carter will take the rebound. Flip it, but it goes off a stick. You know what? He was playing to his identity last few games. And when you do that right, the offensive comes. And there’s Baldi. Devils do a good job shooting back, but it goes in as the shot just goes over the right shoulder of Daw. So, the Wild score their first of the game midway through. And now it’s 3-1. Well, now the Devils have to I’m sure Minnesota will have a push. And Baldi, this kid’s a heck of a hockey player. Hasn’t hasn’t had a lot of looks. In fact, a lot of the Wild haven’t because the Devils have defended so well. But look at him pull that puck back. He’s so big, strong. The long reach pulls it back just out of the reach of Nemitson.
