On defense and between the pipes, Jeremy Swayman had an outstanding night as goaltender for Boston. He saved 19 out of 21 shots faced throughout the game, maintaining a perfect save percentage during shorthanded situations which played a crucial role in thwarting any comeback attempts by New Jersey.


New Jersey Devils' Efforts


Despite falling short against Boston's relentless attack, New Jersey Devils showed resilience throughout each period. They managed to score twice from 21 shots but struggled to find consistency against Swayman’s goaltending prowess for Boston.
