An interesting game to say the least. Jets fought back from a 2-0 deficit in the 3rd period to tie the game on an interesting Jim Slater goal. Interesting as almost all the Devils on the ice thought the Jets had taken a hooking penalty. Unfortunately, after being outshot 5-0 in OT (due to an Evander Kane penalty late in 3rd period), Adam Henrique was able to get a breakaway and win it for the Devils. While he wasn’t nominated as a star of the game, Pavelec was outstanding once again for the Jets.
