After the Blues had tied the game, New Jersey scored the winning goal. They did this by scoring twice in the third period. The young Devils did not flinch, and continued pressing the Blues to force overtime.
“We just settled down and I think we went out there following the goal, had a few strong shifts, and just kept playing,” said Dawson Mercer, Devils forward, who scored his second goal. “It really helped us get through the last 10 minutes and finish it all at the end.
Both teams failed with power-play opportunities in the third period.
