THE SCOOP<\/p>\n
The Devils will look to build on one of their strongest performances of the young season when they welcome the Anaheim Ducks to Prudential Center.<\/p>\n
New Jersey is coming off a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.\u00a0Luke Evangelista made an immediate impact in his return to the lineup, scoring the game’s opening goal and adding an assist after missing three games with an illness. Connor Brown also returned, making his season debut after missing New Jersey’s first eight games with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n
Declan Chisholm scored his first goal as a Devil, Arseny Gritsyuk scored a highlight-reel goal, and Jesper Boqvist added an empty-net goal.\u00a0In goal, Jake Allen turned aside 31 shots.<\/p>\n
The Ducks, meanwhile, arrive in New Jersey looking to reverse their recent fortunes.<\/p>\n
Anaheim has dropped four consecutive games, including a 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. The Ducks fell behind 3-1 in the opening period before Alex Killorn brought them within a goal in the third, but they were unable to complete the comeback.<\/p>\n
It was Anaheim’s second loss in as many nights in the Metro area, following a 5-2 defeat to the Rangers on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anaheim does, however, have plenty of offensive talent capable of creating problems for New Jersey. Young forwards Leo Carlsson and Beckett Sennecke have been among the Ducks’ most productive players, while veteran Mikael Granlund adds another offensive threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE SCOOP The Devils will look to build on one of their strongest performances of the young season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-503539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
