Game review
For most of the first phase, both teams played clean, round-trip hockey. In the late first, Arseni Gritsyuk gained control of the puck in the terrible pass in the Ice Center. Paul Cotter catches up with Gritsyuk and slips with him. He passed to Cotter, who shot quickly and scored his first goal in the game.
In the middle of the second phase, Simon Nemec put a puck in the Rangers’ offensive zone. He tried to clear it, but instead it bounced off Adam Edstrom’s feet. He was in the right position at the right time and tied for the Rangers.
Unlike the first two stages, the third action begins. During this period, Braden Schneider sat down for a minute and 12 seconds before sitting down with a victory. With 40 seconds left in the power game, the devil begins to act. Dougie Hamilton put the puck on the blue line and passed it to Nemec. He sent it back to Hamilton, who fired. The puck deflected from Ondrej Palat’s stick, making the devil the lead.
Just 20 seconds after the Wanderers pulled Jonathan out of the crease quickly, Dawson Mercer scored a hollow net goal to ensure the Devils left New York City with a victory.
