Moves it to Terrain and the traffic jam in front. Blocks the shot. slides it across. This is a great power play goal, James. They have the execution in terms of their passing along the outside, then they attack the net with a shot. You have to have net front presence and create a screen. That’s exactly what they have and they capitalize as a result. The Blackhawks have gone up by one here in the opening frame. How does this now change the complexion of this one? Well, I think it’s really important because they got momentum right now. More jump to their step and now they’ll want to try and stay aggressive and increase that lead.

Tell the right wing on the attack. Clears it. Scores. It’s team time tonight. Teemo Meyer makes it count. Oh, is he ever dialed in on that one, James? He’s falling through the ice and still shows his skill set and his puck pursuit as he’s able to get a shot off while he’s falling and he executes and everyone is going nuts. They know what he just did. That’s an effort play. The Devils have leveled the playing field in the late going of period number one. Yeah, no time like the present, right James to have heading into the intermission and you can take that to the bank, right? I mean, finding ways to to get the equalizer here. Now you got a little bit of a rest and you got to come out firing on all cylinders to start the second. Pumps it away at his own end. Tries to feed it over to Murphy. Pumps up with a stop.

He takes this one and he just rips it off the post. That’s a tough one. I thought he had it. The goalender looked like the angle was off but apparently not. Face off coming up here and Cheryl. Let’s see if they can keep that momentum going. No question about it, James. We know where the momentum lies right now after some sustained pre heavy pressure, heavy for check, lots of shots going to the net. The goalender is fatigued. You want to make sure that you can continue to apply that pressure and see if you can squeak on by. And now he tries to get it across to Liar. Shot and he was ready for that save.

And that’s three unanswered goals. Over and over and over again, James. And you can see the excitement on the bench.

Well, pounder, we’ve played more than 40 minutes now in this one. How do you view things? New Jerseys ahead in this highscoring affair, but it is action-packed. One team scores and the other team says, “Yeah, no, it’s my turn now.” I mean, the counterattack has been unbelievable.

They’ve had a lot of push back and a lot of fight in this game. They’ve been poised. They’ve composed, but now they’re finding a lot of fire in their step and a lot of jump as well.

I think there’s a fine balance here. I mean, you don’t just want to play to hold on.

Carter’s got it into offensive territory. Quick feed to Ne. Handles it along the blue line and he’s got the answer for that one. Throws it over. Streaking into the attacking zone to the right.

Anytime you’re in the slot area, you know that you’re not going to have much time. That’s why a quick wrist or to the net can often do the damage. It’s buried. New Jerseyy’s now up by two here in the late stages on the third. It feels like time is on their side. Time is on their side, but they’re going to have to finish it. And the clock seems a little thin right now for them. And on the other side, you got an urgent team. If they can get within striking distance, they’ll get their net minder out. Finds nothing but air on that shot. takes the dish. Too many bodies in the way. There’s been so much offense in this game, James. It’s been real entertaining for us and the fans in the building.

Close it in deep. The Devils will play the puck from behind the net. Solid check to slow him down. Picked up along the boards by Leopard. Nowhere for that shot to go through. Big time stop there. Well, the shooters are coming on the ice right in the middle of it with a good look and he makes an incredible save by getting straight to the puck and turning it aside. Under siege and finally grabs that one and covers up for a whistle. Well, lining up here for the face off after a great shift there, Cheryl. Yeah, in the offensive zone, they have all the momentum. Would be surprised to see a little stall at the faceoff here to give their goalender a little extra breather because he has been under siege and you can see it on his face. He needs some rest. Down the left wing across into the offensive end. The Blackhawks have it against the wall. Moa quickly over to Slagger and now it’s grabbed by Nosen and that’s broken up by Laferty.

A lot on the line here in this offensive zone faceoff. The Blackhawks win the draw. Takes the feed. Here’s a short pass to Nazar. Strong defensive effort into the offensive zone. Break away. Oh, that goes sideways. Yeah, it’s a tough look, James, in a missed opportunity. It’s not often that you get in all alone. At the very least, you got to make the goalender make a save. We’re going to face off after the puck stays covered up. The centerman glide into position. New Jerseyy’s got the puck after winning the defensive zone faceoff. Streaking through center they go on the attack. Moves it quickly over to Nosson. Gets a glove on it to keep it out. Can’t hang on to the puck after the play. Taken along the wall by Nosen and tries to make a diagonal pass to Meyer. Here’s a chance. Oh, blocked down by Knight. Oh, wow. What a save. An unbelievable save there, James. I mean, a combination of technical skill and athleticism equals desperation. Outstanding. The goalender, they have to have talent. They have to have mobility. They have to be able to track the puck, but they have to have a willingness to find it and fight for any second shot. And that’s exactly what happens here. Out battling, out willing, and you make the save. The Devils been going in one direction all night long and that’s to the net and they lead it here late in this third period. Almost down to the final minute here in this third. Great handsome play by the defender. But you play the game differently depending on the situation. And when you’re up, you got to know it. And you got to game manage. You got to puck manage that turnover. Coach isn’t going to like that one at all. Tries to get it to Murphy from the point. They take control of it. Great stuff by Marstrom. The Devils have it now. Puts another of the net. Denies him. Well, he does a great job of having sound positional play based on where the puck is on that low inner slot and he makes himself big. Takes away the holes and makes a save. Both teams are set. They’re ready to drop the puck. Left up here in the offensive zone. Way too much congestion block to the empty net. Scores into the empty net. This was right in my wheelhouse, James. These were the type of moments that I played in. And everyone can take a breath now that the insurance marker has hit the 4×6. You can see the emotion on everyone on the ice as that empty netter went in. That’s an insurance marker and that’s going to be the game. The Devils offense has paid off in dividends tonight. No shortage of scoring chances and they have capitalized on many. Chicago’s got possession of the Coke after that neutral zone face off. That’s a textbook save by Marstrom. Heshi’s taking it from his own end. Battling for it along the boards. The Blackhawks gain possession along the wall and now he tries to get it across to Laferty. Shot makes the save and he takes the feed. And that’s all she wrote on this one as we are in the books. New Jerseyy’s the winner tonight and they do it starting with the faceoffs. Yeah, they were cheating the best too, weren’t they, James? And getting away with it. But it’s all about knowing the details when you’re at the dot. They executed perfectly. You ain’t trying if you ain’t cheating. Hope everyone had as much fun as we did here tonight. For all of us at EA Sports, I’m James Sabolski saying peace.
