"Florida struck early, opening the scoring just 1:59 into the game when Evan Rodrigues cleaned up in front after Brad Marchand, who took a pass from Seth Jones, was stopped twice by Jake Allen. Marchand and Jones each collected their third assist of the young season on Rodrigues' second of the campaign. Daniil Tarasov was rock solid in the first frame, making 12 stops to get the Cats to the dressing room with the slim lead intact."
"Some Keystone Cops-style defending led to the clincher at 11:47 as the Cats played hot potato with the puck and Niko Mikkola and Jones both went to the same man, allowing Nico Hischier to get free and wrist the disk past Tarasov's glove, with the lone assist going to Dawson Mercer. Sam Reinhart appeared to score with Tarasov off for an extra-attacker, but the goal was waved off due to Anton Lundell making incidental connect with Allen."
The New Jersey Devils defeated the Florida Panthers 3-1 in the Devils' home opener. Evan Rodrigues scored 1:59 into the game on assists from Brad Marchand and Seth Jones. Daniil Tarasov made 12 first-period saves and several second-period highlights to keep Florida competitive. Jack Hughes tied the game on a play finished by Timo Meier with assists from Jesper Bratt and Meier. Meier later deflected a Simon Nemec shot through Tarasov to give New Jersey the lead. Defensive miscues allowed Nico Hischier to add an insurance goal, and a late Panthers goal was waved off for incidental contact.
