Scheifele, who had not scored a goal in his previous seven games, opened the scoring just 1:52 into the game as he took a pass from Pionk, stickhandled passed the defense, then backhanded a shot over Bernier’s right shoulder.Įhlers, who ended a five-game goal-scoring drought, got his first of the night when he snapped a shot over Bernier’s left shoulder at 3:52, and Vesalainen converted a perfect set up by Paul Stastny at the 7:39 mark to make it 3-0. “Having that much time off is huge after having the amount of games we’ve played in such a short time. “We were able to get some rest, we were able to get fresh legs and you guys saw that tonight, a lot of guys had a little more pop in their step,” said Scheifele. But I think, overall, we played a game that gave us a chance to win and we deserve it.” Scoring points is fun, there’s no secret to that. “You want to help the team any way you can and a lot of the guys were able to get a point on a goal. “It (two goals) obviously means a lot,” Ehlers said.
Morrissey's point shot trickled in off a player in front of Bernier with 4 1/2 minutes left in the period to put the Jets ahead for good. It’s always frustrating to work that hard and not be able to complete the deal … We had all kinds of opportunities to keep coming back but we didn’t complete the deal.”Įhlers' second of the night tied it 4-4 midway through the second, with Andrew Copp getting the 100th assist of his career on the play. “The first eight minutes (of the second period) was just all us.
“We were down 3-0, we battled back hard,” Devils coach Lindy Ruff said. Hischier and Graves scored 39 seconds apart to give New Jersey the lead 1:16 into the second. The Jets led 3-0 less than eight minutes into game before Severson and Hughes brought the Devils within one at the end of the first period. Mackenzie Blackwood took over in the third period and finished with six saves. Jonathan Bernier gave up six goals on 32 shots through two periods. Ryan Graves had a goal and an assist, and Jack Hughes, Damon Severson and Nico Hischier also scored for the Devils.
