The New Jersey Devils lost 4-1 to the Ottawa Senators on Monday night at the Prudential Center. As the story has been, the Devils outplayed Ottawa for long stretches, including the third period, when they outshot the Senators by eleven.
The New Jersey Devils dropped to a 2-3-0 record following a 4-1 loss against the Ottawa Senators on Monday at Prudential Center. Despite outshooting Ottawa 30-20 overall and 14-3 in the final frame, New Jersey struggled to convert opportunities against goaltender Linus Ullmark. Ottawa established control with goals from Shane Pinto, Stephen Halliday, and Tim Stutzle before sealing the win with a late empty-netter, while Arseny Gritsyuk scored the lone goal for New Jersey.
The defeat highlighted ongoing offensive difficulties for the Devils, who have yet to score first in five games this season and rank tied for 27th across the league with only 11 goals. Head coach and lineup adjustments remain under scrutiny as second-period lapses and penalty troubles continue to hinder results. New Jersey immediately looks to rebound on Tuesday night on the road against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena.
