Two Wins Tucked Away: Mercer Powers Devils to Victory Ahead of Home Opener

  Photo: Andrew MacLean The New Jersey Devils survived a chaotic, late-game flurry in Columbus to secure their second straight victory on Monday night, defeating the Blue Jackets 3-2 to cap off their opening road trip. The star of the dramatic finish was forward Dawson Mercer, who netted a pair of goals—including the decisive empty-net marker—that momentarily gave the Devils a two-goal cushion before the Blue Jackets scored with 20 seconds left to keep the tension high until the final horn. Having collected four points out of a possible six on the road, New Jersey now turns its focus to the familiar roar of the Prudential Center crowd. The team finally heads home to Newark, where they will open their home slate on Thursday night with a pivotal early-season clash against the formidable Florida Panthers.

Here's a crazy reply to the Devils 3-2 loss!


Links to other WILD games on December 19th:

Bruins VS Wild   -   It is in a way understandable as to how the Bruins lost to the Wild.. Marc-Andre Fleury.

Golden Knights VS Hurricanes   -   Not going to say much about this one.

Blue Jackets VS Sabres   -   VERY eventful game! A hat trick, 9-4 score..
