And that's game. #NJDevils heading back to New Jersey now. And so am I.
Final- Vegas 3, New Jersey 1 The Golden Knights defended well all game, and did just enough offensively to get the win. The defensive work down the stretch nursing a one-goal lead was impressive after the last few, not many chances for the Devils at all.
