Game Highlights


The game unfolded with intensity from the start. The New Jersey Devils showcased their strategic prowess early on by scoring once in each period, demonstrating both consistency and pressure throughout the game. Their performance was backed by an impressive display of goaltending from Jake Allen, who saved 23 out of 24 shots directed at him, maintaining a perfect save percentage throughout the match.


Cody Glass emerged as one of the standout players for the Devils with his goal contributing significantly to their win. His performance alongside Erik Haula's two-point night (one goal and one assist) highlighted their offensive capabilities. Additionally, Johnathan Kovacevic and Luke Hughes each added an assist to bolster the team's scoring efforts.


On defense, New Jersey was equally formidable; they blocked 14 shots and won over half of their faceoffs (57 percent), showcasing their ability to control both ends of the ice effectively.


Philadelphia Flyers' Efforts


Despite falling short in this matchup, Philadelphia Flyers put up a valiant effort. They managed to break through New Jersey's defense once in the third period but struggled to capitalize on further opportunities. Their powerplay unit couldn't convert during their single chance on special teams which could have shifted momentum in their favor.


Jamie Drysdale stood out for Philadelphia with his defensive plays earning him recognition among the game's top performers despite being on the losing side.

The New Jersey Devils are set to host Columbus Blue Jackets at Prudential Center on March 11th at 7:00 PM EDT. Fans can catch this upcoming game live on ESPN+, MSGSN for television broadcasts or FDSOH for those tuning in via TV outside local markets.
