Mark Scheifele scored his 20th of the season just before the two-minute mark and Jansen Harkins made it 2-0 at the 7:20 mark of the first period. The Last Bruins Game: Last night, the Bruins hosted Winnipeg. Don’t tell me this Devils team is soft given what they went through to end their six-game slide with a 4-2 win. Matthew Tkachuk immediately reacted by trying to fight Nico Hischier, which caused a massive scrum and Tkachuk trying to pummel the Devils captain after the refs separated them. The Devils held on, survived a desperate 5-on-6 wave of offense at the end, countered with a non-icing empty-net-goal miss, forechecked, and Tomas Tatar put in the ENG to secure the game. Sharangovich broke a nine-game goal drought with that one. The re-direction beat Bobrovsky and put the Devils up. The defenseman fired a shot and Yegor Sharangovich - yes, him - was open along the way to re-direct it. He circled around to find Jonas Siegenthaler at the center point.

Lundell got an extra penalty and the Devils punished him for it. Then a fight between Erik Haula and Anton Lundell happened. Worse, Eric Staal was able to freely put a rebound past Mackenzie Blackwood while vaunted character/energy/gritty guys Michael McLeod and Miles Wood stood about like statues. He would be out for the remainder of the game forcing the Devils to play with five defensemen. Graves could not get up he had to be assisted to the locker room with a trainer. Ryan Graves’ legs were tied up in a collision with Zac Dalpe. How would the Devils fare coming off a loss in Carolina? How would they handle all of the Physical Brutality? It did not start well.
