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.

   Seattle starts off scoring - Jared McCann scores his 19th of the season. McCann took a feed from Jordan Eberle in the left circle, scoring on a wrist shot, and it got past Arvid Soderblom's glove. Less than three minutes after McCann's goal, Jaden Schwartz extends it to a 2-0 score. Andre Burakovsky's pass hit off Schwartz's shin pad and into the open net. Joey Anderson cut the 2-0 lead to a 2-1 score... he deflected a shot by Seth Jones from the point with 2:40 remaining in the first period.


   Only 15 seconds into the middle frame, a goal was credited to Alex Wennberg, making it 3-1. Attempting a breakout pass from the corner, Jones shot the puck but it bounced off Alex Vlasic's skate and went between Soderblom's legs. Wennberg had been the last player to touch the puck before getting into Chicago's net. Brandon Tanev scores a one-timer from a pass by Brian Dumoulin from the right circle. The final score of the second period was 4-1.


   Nick Foligno gets one in on the power play, just 39 seconds into the third period. Foligno redirected a pass from Philipp Kurashev into an open net, making it a 4-2 game. Tomas Tatar scores on the breakaway right after Joey Daccord stopped Ryan Donato. Tatar back at it with another goal, his second of the night! He scored with a snap shot from the slot for the 6-2 final.
