Gritsyuk, Glass Propel Devils to Victory Over Oilers

In an exciting matchup, New Jersey managed to secure a victory over the Edmonton Oilers, thanks to significant contributions from players Gritsyuk and Glass. The game showcased impressive teamwork and strategic plays, leading to a hard-fought win.

Key Players Shine in Victory

One of the standout moments came when Savoie equalized the score at 1-1 in the first period. This goal was set up following a key face-off win by Jack Roslovic. Savoie deftly deflected a slap shot from Jake Walman past Oilers’ goaltender Allen.

Savoie commented on the goal, stating, “Big face-off win by ‘Rosey,’ and then I was trying to get out of the way.” He acknowledged his good fortune in managing to deflect the puck rather than getting hit by it.

Glass Propels Team Forward

Less than two minutes later, Glass put New Jersey ahead, scoring to make it 2-1. Capitalizing on a defensive misstep from Edmonton, he skated down the left wing alone. Gritsyuk provided the critical pass, allowing Glass to fire a shot past Jarry on the blocker side.

“It feels good, especially on a back-to-back going against the Oilers,” Glass remarked after the game. He emphasized the team’s strong performance in the first two periods and the preparation they undertook to handle star player Connor McDavid. “We knew the storm was going to be coming… we did a really good job,” Glass added.
