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. New Jersey Devils Lineup: Palat - Hughes - Bratt Meier - Hischier - Mercer Gritsyuk - Glass - Brown Cotter - Glendening - Halonen Hughes - Pesce Siegenthaler - Hamilton Dillon - Neme...

Matt Rempe Suspended Four Games for Brutal Elbow on Jonas Siegenthaler 3/11/24

 






   The New Jersey Devils played against the New York Rangers on Monday, March 11th at the Madison Square Garden. The Devils took another loss, their second straight when they played against the Rangers, and this was New York's third straight victory.



   During this game, Kurtis MacDermid had asked Matt Rempe to fight, who turned it down. Later after that, Jonas Siegenthaler took a rough elbow to the head by Rempe, who received a major penalty and game misconduct for elbowing. The brutal elbow occurred at 19:25 of the second period when Rempe skated to Siegenthaler after shooting the puck and lifted his arm where he got in contact with Siegenthaler's head.

 

   The NHL's Department of Player Safety announced the day after, March 12th, that Rempe would be suspended for four games without pay. This is Matt Rempe's first suspension, and he will forfeit $17,083.32, based on his average annual salary. The money will be going toward the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.



   It was said today, March 13th, that Jonas Siegenthaler will be out for an extended period with a concussion. The Devils recalled Santeri Hatakka to be paired with Brendan Smith, and Nick DeSimone is also returning to the lineup to be paired with Kevin Bahl to combat the injuries they're facing. Today, New Jersey also recalled Tyler Wotherspoon and Max William, who will meet the Devils in Dallas on Thursday, March 14th.


   The New York Rangers will be playing against the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, Pittsburgh Penguins, and the New York Islanders without Matt Rempe.
