Devils Pushing Back Despite Three-Goal Hole
New Jersey’s pressure and creases hit the iron; the scoreboard belies who’s had the better night
By MA Insights
New Jersey has controlled the play and peppered the net all night, yet trails 0-3. The evidence: they own 47 shot attempts to 35, are ahead 26-21 in shots on goal, have more dangerous chances, and their expected goals sit higher (2.78 vs 2.3). Two iron hits prove the bounces have been cruel — keep pressing and a comeback is realistic.
