Here are some observations from the game:
• The Devils held the Ducks to just five shots on goal in the first period. In the second period, the Ducks were the beneficiaries of multiple powerplays and were able to narrow the shot discrepancy from 15-5 to 21-16, with 11 shots in the second period.
• While the Ducks held the 1-0 lead midway through the first period, the Devils were not short on their opportunities, though they were certainly short on luck. Timo Meier and Dougie Hamilton wired clean shots off the crossbar behind Dostal, while Meier also had two separate moments where a rebounded puck skipped over his stick.
• The Devils penalty killers were an important cog in keeping the game close heading into the third period. With the Ducks leading 1-0, just before the halfway mark of the second period, New Jersey got into some penalty trouble. At 8:20, Nico Hischier was called for a hook and a hold on the same play, while Ducks Alex Killorn was called for an elbow on Hischier on the same play. The Hischier penalties began a stretch where the Devils not only had Hischier in the box for four minutes but also, as the Devils captain’s first minor expired, Jesper Bratt was called for a tripping penalty.
The Ducks pushed the Devils and managed five shots on Jacob Markstrom, who was superb and integral in bringing the Devils into the third period trailing only by one.
