Beaten 3-0 by St. Louis on Wednesday, the Devils reacted perfectly to pick up a 5th success in their last 6 matches. New Jersey won 5-4 in Detroit thanks to its efficiency on the power play.
The Devils found the fault 3 times with one more man on the ice, admittedly facing the worst box-play in the League. Suspended 2 days earlier against the Blues, Timo Meier converted one of his numerical advantages.
The Appenzeller scored his 8th goal of the season after 18’00, allowing New Jersey to equalize at 2-2 after being down 2-0. The Devils benefited from this “power play” after a coach’s challenge lost by Detroit on New Jersey’s first goal.
