When he’s not scoring goals he’s getting primary assists on goals. Jack is such an unbelievable player.

4th line didn’t score but they drew two penalties, banged the Montreal defensemen around and got the puck deep.

Devils host DC tomorrow night on TNT

Does it make sense to split up Jack and Bratt?

Open ended question.

Small observation…..Bratt had 22 hits last year. He has 6 already.
Maybe it did make sense

I didnt know what a hockey puck was until 13 years ago when my son wanted to play hockey. I still only a small percentage of the X and O of the game.

Terrible start! Akira gives up 3 soft goals and our vaunted offense produces only 2 shots on goal.

It's early, but crap like this will force Fitz's hand if this team doesn't wake up.

As Lindy said Charmin soft. In 2 games they go from making Keith Primeau's kid look like a good NHL goalie, to playing only 1 period and giving a rookie his first win.

Yes the defense must be better, but the goalie can't give up 3 to 4 goals that are best described as soft!

Still early, but the trends are not good.

Moving Lazar to the 3rd line and Holtz to the 4th is quite dumb.

Not scratching Smith even more stupid

Jack took a spill in a skate this morning.
Same thing happened with Miller last week and he’s out long term.

Can they pay attention while skating in the morning? Not hard to do

Devils are the only team in the NHL to give up the first goal in every game this year, 7 and counting.

Dougie Hamilton is signed for a long time. He is there for offense and he is on the 2nd power play team.

I wonder if there are any teams interested in him for a goale or a defensive minded D

Haula had a game

Devils got to start putting teams away when they take the lead instead of these close games which allows teams to hang around

Nico took like 3 big hits to the head.
I’m concerned about him

I was at the game tonight. It's nice to see the win, but they better tighten up the D.

My cuz attended up in 214 - he said solid crowd.

Nico was ruled out tomorrow- effects of the headshot from Clifton.

How does Nico only have 2 points in 7 games so far this season??

Our goaltending is just not good.
I agree but in this game even though Vanecek gave up 3 goals, he made some highlight reel saves. That lucky bounce on that shot that got deflected right to Hartman on the other side of the net is a goal against almost everyone.
