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.

   Vincent Trocheck strikes the first goal of the game and his 14th of the season. Jordan Eberle ties up the game with his sixth of the season! Erik Gustafsson takes the lead for the Rangers. The final score of the first period was 2-1.


   Blake Wheeler scores the third goal for the Rangers - Kaapo Kakko nets one not long after, the Rangers in the lead by three. 4-1 was the final score of the middle frame.


   Jared McCann scores the second and last goal for the Kraken. Blake Wheeler gets an empty-netter with his second of the game! The final score overall was 5-2.



"It was huge going into the game. We were hoping that we couldn't give them many rush chances and odd-man rushes. They have a lot of speed and they make you pay on those. Unfortunately, we turned the puck over quite a bit - you hate to have to rely on him to make the amount of quality saves he made. Fortunately for us, that's why he's world-class and he made a bunch of big ones for us tonight." Blake Wheeler spoke about the Rangers 5-2 win against the Kraken postgame.
