Home win for the New Jersey Devils in the top duel of the NHL on Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets!
A strong final third has fans cheering for Newark at the Prudential Center.
However, the start of the game is better for the guests. With just 15 minutes played, Scheifele served Perfetti, who gave Winnipeg the lead.
Mercer can compensate for this in direct return. With less than two minutes to go before the first break, Pionk puts the Jets back ahead – 2-1.
There are no goals to be admired in the middle third, which is mainly due to the strong keeper Hellebuyck and Blackwood.
Mercer makes the decision
In the last part of the game, however, the Devils can break the resistance of the guests. Fabian Zetterlund with his sixth goal of the season and a little later Miles Wood turn the game around.
Towards the end, Winnipeg takes the keeper off the ice, as expected. Mercer makes the decision with 57 seconds before the end of the game with an empty net hit and scores the final score of 4:2.
The Devils are second in the Metropolitan Division. Despite the loss, the Jets remain the Dallas Stars’ closest pursuers in the Central Division.
