After having a great road trip to regain some confidence; the first game back at the Rock wasn't what they wanted. Losing 4-2 to Atlanta was unexpected. The first period the devils came out firing. They played strong, atlanta was happy to get out of the period without damage.
A few good things and a few bad. This is a new devils team. Still a lot of young players so the chemistry is still being worked out. But also a new team in the way they attack the opposing team and their formations. Some things to look forward to is the extra effort from the defense to keep the puck in play. Our defense stands up at the blue line and its helped to keep plays alive and has resulted in goals. Our defense got another point with Salvadors Assist. The other is the added work. Guys are still trying to fuse well with one another, but with young blood the work ethic has definitely improved. Guys work hard down low and we have seen the results with some grinding and doorstep goals.
Bad: still our power plays need work. Not to mention going 0 for 5 we also let up a shorthanded goal.
