Beaten in its two previous matches, New Jersey won 5-4 following overtime on the ice of the New York Islanders thanks in particular to two assists from Timo Meier, and despite the injury of Nico Hischier.
Forced to “warm up” the bench during the third third of the Devils’ last match, lost to the Panthers four days earlier, Timo Meier therefore reacted in the best possible way by signing his first two points in this 2023/24 exercise. Even if he has a record of -3 following being aligned for 20’42”.
The Appenzell striker made the decisive pass on the 1-1 from Dougie Hamilton (20th) before being credited with an assist on the winning goal scored by Jack Hughes (2 goals and 2 assists Friday) following 2’19” in “overtime”. Note that the Devils scored their first four goals in “power play”.
Hischis affected in the upper body
Jonas Siegenthaler (-2) remained “mute”, just like Nico Hischier who made a perfect screen on the Devils’ third goal but is still looking for his first point of the season. The Valais center also suffered an upper body injury and did not return to the bench for the third period. His state of health will be assessed on a daily basis.
