NEWARK, NJ – If fans saw that the New Jersey Devils recorded three goals on 35 shots, allowed less than 20 shots and connected thrice on the power play on home ice against the Arizona Coyotes, then Jersey’s team should have collected two points.
Somehow, a “win” wasn’t the result on Friday night at the Prudential Center for the Devils.
New Jersey blew a two and one goal lead and lost to Arizona by a final of 5-3 (empty-net goal).
Jack Hughes had a three-point effort but an early third-period goal by Arizona helped propel the Coyotes to the comeback win.
