Momentum. Do the Hawks have it?
No Hischer and (probably) no Jack Hughes, which will help.
But NJ is deep as fuck so there’s a real effort needed to get a point or two in this one.
Vanecek is not great sometimes and it needs to be hoped this is one of those times.
NJ 6 Hawks 3

Hawks will think their momentum will carry over but I'm guessing not. Hopefully they prove me wrong but a reverse 5-2 score sounds about right.

The Devils are a good team. I don't know if it helps, but here's another game thread nurse:  Maybe she can fix Vlasic. |

Game on NHLN but Hawk games are so quiet on TV. I know from my 3 UC visits it's very loud but perhaps not like it used to be. I miss those NBC Sunday Mike Emerick very loud crazy games.

Easy to see Bedard not back checking leads to the Devil's 3rd goal. That will keep the crowd quiet too.

Panthers should be ashamed of themselves.

I thought Hawks might keep up with Hischier and Hughes out, I was wrong. Hawks need a forward upgrade, perhaps better forechecking..

The Hawks looked great the first 10 minutes. Is that on coaching again? Master Luke used his mind tricks to convince everyone they were all better than they are. Once the Devils settled in, the game turned pretty significantly.
Still, they kept it close. Soderblom didn't suck. D battled hard. It wasn't an easy game, and it was never going to be an easy game. Vanecek made one amazing save in the first that could have helped the Hawks keep momentum. Once the Devils tied it and scored 2-1, it was always going to end this way.
I do miss Tinordi, but Zaitsev was okay. Seth Jones holds on to the puck for too long. He wants to do too much again. Usually a quick play is the best play. Murph took two penalties, but I'm not sure I would have called the first. And of course the Devils scored.
The Devils also did a good job checking Bedard on the PP.
I'm warming up to Raddysh, but I don't see why Entwistle is in the lineup.
Dickinson was one of the best Hawks. Again.

Nothing against Dickinson, but when he’s your best player that spells doom.
