Luke Hughes struggled last night, but booing him for half the game was not it.
Plus, the #NJDevils are still not in the same tier as the Hurricanes after all these years...

Every game is a grind, given the state of the roster, but the #NJDevils' January schedule sets up relatively well for them. They need to take advantage.

Very long segment on the Luke Hughes situation on 32 Thoughts today. Elliotte says be careful what you wish for, #NJDevils fans.
Worst thing you can do is run him out of town and watch him become a success elsewhere. He’s a 22 year old defenseman.

Mike Rupp had some really good takes on the Luke Hughes situation. Too much to transcribe in a tweet, but if you can find it somewhere later, I recommend watching it.

Big picture, it's crazy that the #NJDevils have not even come close to catching up to the Hurricanes since that playoff series 3 years ago. Have only taken steps backward, and no signs of turning it around any time soon.

Final. The #NJDevils fall 3-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes.
If you want to blame Luke Hughes for the loss, fine, but the power play cost them this one. 4 straight PPs from the end of the 2nd to the start of the 3rd, and they did nothing with any of them.

#NJDevils had 3 consecutive power plays to end that period, and did absolutely nothing with them.
Haven't generated enough offense at all strengths tonight. Bussi hasn't been tested much yet.

Dawson Mercer gets the #NJDevils on the board to tie the game at 1-1. Long goal drought broken for him, too.
Incredible shift for Arseny Gritsyuk too

The #NJDevils' comeback win vs. CBJ would have been all for naught had they laid an egg against the Mammoth.
Fortunately, their top players stepped up en route to a 4-1 win.

Pretty much everything you want from an #NJDevils win. Jacob Markstrom great in net. Contributions from Bratt, Hischier, Meier, Jack Hughes, even Dougie.
Need to see it consistently now.

That's that. The #NJDevils defeat the Mammoth 4-1.
Huge win after that comeback against CBJ on New Year's Eve. That win wouldn't have mattered if they laid an egg against the Mammoth today.

Nico Hischier (I think) redirects a Timo Meier shot pass to give the #NJDevils a 3-0 lead
Goal came just as the 5v3 was expiring. Huge to score there.
