Savoie tied it 1-1 at 7:02. Following a face-off win by Jack Roslovic, Savoie skated to the front of the net and deflected Jake Walman‘s slap shot from the right point under Allen.
“Big face-off win by ‘Rosey,’ and then I was trying to get out of the way and I think ‘Wally’ was going a little high, but obviously not a high stick,” Savoie said. “So, I was pretty fortunate there.
“I thought it was going to ride up pretty high on me, so I tried getting out of the way, and luckily it hit a stick.”
Glass responded back for New Jersey to make it 2-1 at 8:32. Catching Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse on a bad line change, Glass skated all alone down the left wing before taking a pass from Gritsyuk and beating Jarry blocker side from the circle.
“It feels good, especially on a back-to-back going against the Oilers,” Glass said. “It’s a tough task, but I felt like we did a really good job in the first and second period.
“We knew the storm was going to be coming, we knew (Connor) McDavid was going to be out there for the majority of the period, so it was all about deflecting him to the outside, and Jake maybe had his best period of the year, so it was awesome.”
