The New Jersey Devils headed into Sunday night’s clash with the San Jose Sharks soaring from an overtime victory Saturday night over the New York Islanders. On the Island, the Devils erased a two-goal deficit with less than five minutes to play on goals from Dawson Mercer and Stefan Noesen and then won the game on a Jack Hughes breakaway goal. Tonight, the team needed the same heroics, but they did not come as they were blanked by the San Jose Sharks 1-0.

The New Jersey Devils did not expect to begin the season without Luke Hughes and Brett Pesce, two elite defensemen slated for top-four minutes.

More than most, the New Jersey Devils’ game Saturday night against the Washington Capitals was a true microcosm of their season. Flashes of brilliance, success when they forecheck, inability to score off the rush, and excellent penalty killing. Unfortunately for New Jersey, the brilliance exhibited in the first five minutes of the game and the opening 45 seconds of the second period was overshadowed by the inability to get clean exits and maintain coverage structures.
