Devils’ Cory Schneider: Need to be ‘one save better’

“While Schneider and coach John Hynes weren’t displeased with his performance, the goalie knows that stopping even just one more shot makes a huge difference, with both games coming down to one goal late.”

Kyle Palmieri, Adam Henrique see diminished roles in Devils’ loss to Kings

“Both Palmieri and Henrique recorded one shot in the game, where the Devils struggled as a whole to put them on net. The team finished with 23 shots, but 14 came in the third period with the Devils trying to claw their way back into the game.”

Cory Schneider tries to keep Devils afloat without Taylor Hall

“Hynes said New Jersey’s struggles in their last two games haven’t had much to do with Hall being hurt and more to do with some players not playing up to their potential.”

Devils out-muscled by Kings, lose 4-2 in Los Angeles

“They weren’t attempting to physically intimidate the Kings players (who to be fair are a lot bigger), and the Kings players recognized that. This physicality, which was also seen in the Ducks game, caused the Devils to rush passes, and really showed the weaknesses of the Devils without Hall or Auvitu.”
