Mixed Bag Lineup at the Isles for a Friday Night Tilt

Keefe seems determined to continue to rotate the main players of all the other games, with a mixture of players filling things. Tonight was not different because the boys took the bus to UBS Arena for match 3 of the pre-season.

There was nothing very notable in the real programming in advance, but the coach staff continue to tinker with pairs in the back, taking a look at Dougie with Edwards, Siegenthaler with Nemec and Cholowski with Casey. It was the beginning of pre-season of Seamus Casey after treating an injury suffered during the challenge of the prospects.

On the Icelanders side, we had a fairly good overview of most of their body before: Barzal, Horvat, New Addition Drouin, Duclair, Gatcomb and Cizikas all dressing for fish sticks. Fans of Devils also took a look at the first choice in total in the draft ’25, Matthew Schaeffer.

Casey made his presence felt early, sending a pretty little flip pass to Glendening on a precarious chance, at 2:01 of the first period. Employed Luke corrected it well and, in a movement, gave Sorokin a shimmy and made a superior shelf. 1 shot, 1 goal is quite good – they should try to do it every time. Casey was offensively and had some good game breaks defensively. The Devils were on the foot before most of the period, controlling the attempts to shoot 22-15, marking the chances of 9-7 and the chances of marking a high danger 6-2, while the veteran Jake Allen was a perfect 8 for 8.

The ice began to tilt the path of the Icelanders to the 2nd and their NHL range decided to present itself, even thought that it had to make its way through the traffic of Long Island on Friday evening. The Devils escaped through a few power games, where the only chances occurred on two -stroke from Grimsyuk and a nice flow of cotter in Lammikko on the doorstep, which proceeded to bury it in the chest of Sorokin. After a prolonged change that trapped the devils on the ice for almost two minutes, the Devils obtained 2 bad breaks – literally – because Rooney and Hardman were without stick. Allen launched a barzal shot, but Gatcomb was seated above the fold and finished it. Jakub Malek took over with 8:30 am to do in the 2nd and was tested on a nice fold game against the folds, but otherwise closed the clean period. The Devils made a lot of fantasy figures, easily released 9-3 and Out Shot 7-4 with a ugly 22.9% XGF.

We headed for the 2nd Entracted Enter 1-1, in a mainly incident. But the Devils came out bursting in the third, Nathan Legare putting them for good with a nice individual game, undressing the washer of the first choice in total aforementioned Matthew Schaffer on the blue line, then keeping a strong stick by passing by Ethan Bear and snatching a house after Sorokin at 8:44. Welcome to the League, Matthew!

A few minutes later, at 12:21 p.m., Grimsyuk intercepted an wandering washer at the top of the area, made a spacing, buried a second opportunity on Sorokin, after stopping his first shot. Credit in Casey for his second assist of the match while taking a big hit to move the washer in zone D to Cotter.

The islands responded with 16:50 on the left, because Angus Crookshank failed to clean it, leaving him to Schaefer who pulled a deep pass to Duclair who turned it and covered it on Malek. Angus quickly compensated for his transgressions Buy Burning the empty net to seal the game for the right ones.

Malek looked very well during his real beginnings in the NHL, stopping 12 out of 13, including a backup of a sick glove on a single niche shooter, and a helmet except on a short part attempt. He seemed composed and engulfed rebounds. No more from him please.

The battle for 4C continues between Lammikko, Glendening and Rooney. Glendening seems to be the current leader of the clubhouse (in my opinion, followed by Lammikko then Rooney).

Casey is so fun to watch.

Edwards continues to have underestimated, but solid games. Very Andy Green (H / T Devils Insiders). That said, Ethan propaganda seems to be targeted on an audience of 1.

Halonen had a change of hilarious PP in the 2nd, where he ate it 3 times, in particular by putting himself in a Bretzel of cartoons in the Bleueline. Aside from his goal in the first game, he didn’t really make favors.

I really liked Legare’s couples last season, an excellent type of player to have as the first call option.

The pre-season 4 match (and 5?) Is a team divided at 3 p.m. Sunday, with a team going to Quebec to face Ottawa, another group remaining at home to face the ceilings.
