Tough night for the #NJDevils at 5v5, but Jake Allen and Markstrom got the job done, and special teams were flawless:
2/2 on the power play
5/5 on the penalty kill
That's that. The #NJDevils survive and defeat the Blue Jackets 3-2.
2-1-0 on the season

The #NJDevils are winning this game 1-0. They were better after Meier scored, though

Meier Madness in October?
Arseny Gritsyuk forces a turnover and sets up Connor Brown for a high-danger chance, but Greaves there to make the save.

Tremendous penalty kill by the #NJDevils. Jake Allen was excellent. Let's see if that gives them some momentum
