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.

Brad Marchand on the Bruins' 3-2 loss against Carolina: "You got to take good and bad things from each game and learn from it. It's great to be able to establish a good game at home. We have another opportunity in February and March as well. So, it would be nice to be at home more towards the end of the season."


Charlie Coyle on the Bruins' 3-2 loss: "That's things we as a team got to learn from. Time of the game, situations... but you got to grow from that and that's what we're going to do - get better from it."
