Nathan MacKinnon's 14-game point streak came to an end versus Nico Hischier's line, a great job by the Hughes-Marino pairing and one heck of a save by Vitek Vanecek tonight. #NJDevils https://t.co/tXfrm4vX0i
Helluva save by Vitek Vanecek on Nathan MacKinnon to keep the game tied, and then John Marino gives the Devils the lead with a goal from the slot late in the third. https://t.co/M4rS5XdAyt
And the Devils score on their third shot of the period. John Marino makes it 4-3 with 2:17 remaining
Bratt to Hischier to Marino with 2:17 left. Devils top line just scored on the #Avs top line, again. 4-3 NJD
JOHNNY MARINO!!! #NJDevils take the 4-3 lead!
John Marino. #NJDevils lead 4-3. 2:17 to go in the third.
#NJDevils take the lead. John Marino.
Vanecek what a save on MacKinnon. Wowza
Artturi Lehkonen just blew up Luke Hughes' spot behind the New Jersey net as he turned to go with the puck. It went right to Cale Makar near the left post and he tucked it in before Vanecek knew where it was. And then Sam Girard scored on the next shift. 3-3. Wow.
Makar scores after Lehkonen trucks Hughes behind the net, although I’m not sure Lehky meant to do that. 3-2 game now.
Colorado get one back after an insane sequence where Jesper Bratt was rocked hard behind Vanecek's net. Colorado cut the #NJDevils lead to 3-2.
And off we go with the third period! #NJDevils have teh 3-1 lead.
End of two. #NJDevils will take the 3-1 lead into the final 20 minutes of regulation against the Avalanche. Huge cheers from the crowd as the team skates off the ice.
Lehkonen to the box now. #NJDevils going to the PP right after a huge kill.
