Jesper Bratt returned to the lineup Thursday night, and Damon Severson put the Devils up early … but the rest of this thing wasn’t that great. The Flyers scored three unanswered and won this one (duh) by a 3-1 scoreline. [NHL] [All About the Jersey] [NJ.com] [NorthJersey.com]
Some ... history in last night’s game:
The #NJDevils won 26.4% of the face-offs tonight vs PHI. That sets a franchise record for lowest face-off win percentage in a single game. Previous low was 26.7% on 10/20/18 at PHI. (NHL started keep track of face-offs in 1997-98)
