Alex Holtz made his Devils debut as the team forced overtime against the Kings on Friday night. But a Ty Smith giveaway provided Los Angeles the winner, and the Kings won 3-2. [NHL]
After taking three penalties on Friday night, Damon Severson came back on Saturday and partially redeemed himself by finishing off the Sharks in a shootout. The Devils won 3-2, and they finished the California road trip with a 1-1-1 record. [NHL]
Ty Smith has had a less-than-stellar start to the season. As C.J. Turtoro notes here, “Among defencemen with 50+ minutes played this season, Dougie Hamilton is 4th among all NHL defenders in xGAR contributed per hour. Unfortunately, if you look at the mirror end of the leaderboard, you also see that another Devil – Ty Smith – ranks 4th to last.” [Infernal Access]

After being claimed off waivers, Scott Wedgewood backstopped the Coyotes to a win against the Kraken on Saturday in an odd bit of history:
2017-18, Coyotes start season 0-10-1, claim goalie Scott Wedgewood on waivers, & in Wedgewood's first game he gets Coyotes their first win

2021-22, Coyotes start season 0-10-1, claim goalie Scott Wedgewood on waivers, & in Wedgewood's first game he gets Coyotes their first win
Here's a record that I think Scott Wedgewood will hold for all of eternity.

He is the only goalie in NHL history to snap two 11-game winless streaks to start a season with the same team.
