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.

Coach Mike Sullivan on Sidney Crosby: "Sometimes we marvel at what he does out there. We get the best seat in the house because we're right up close to it... I think the thing I admire most about Sid is his creativity and how he scores goals and his ability to do it so many different ways. I think he's the best player in the game, the best player in the world - and has been for a long time in and around the blue paint."


"They've won a lot of games recently. I think that was just our game plan coming in, make sure that we keep the chances and rushes to a minimum, and I think we did a really good job of that tonight." Tristan Jarry spoke after the Penguins 3-0 win against the Kraken.
