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.

Connor Bedard will not be attending the Blackhawks' road trip before NHL All-Star break

 





 




   On January 5th when Chicago played against the New Jersey Devils at The Rock, Connor Bedard took a hit from Brendan Smith. The game was full of fights and penalties after the rookie left the game with a fractured jaw.


   On January 10th, the Blackhawks posted an update on Bedard about his successful surgery to repair his fractured jaw and the expected amount of time he'd be out of the lineup.

 



   A week after Bedard's surgery, he went back on the ice to practice, wearing a face shield. Coach Luke Richardson stated that Connor isn't allowed to take slapshots while skating and about how Bedard had been begging to get back on the ice - he'd been given specific instructions. However, there is no change in Connor Bedard's timeline... still 6-8 weeks.

 





Connor Bedard out during and after practice on Sunday, January 21st.
