Blake Coleman had an interesting night in the opener. He took a stick to the mouth and needed some dental work and then went on to score a goal that just left us all slack-jawed: [The Athletic ($)]
Just watch this a few more times:

Then, the very next day, the Devils put up a real clunker in an ugly, ugly 7-2 loss to the Sabres on the road. [NorthJersey.com] [NJ.com] [All About the Jersey]
Some good news out of the weekend:
An update for the piece: there have also been very preliminary talks between Nico Hischier’s camp and the Devils. Very early in the process but least there’s already been dialogue. https://t.co/ZNUtmSiGVW
