The New Jersey Devils suffered a disappointing 7-2 loss to the Boston Bruins, falling short of securing a playoff spot by just one point. Stefan Noesen and Timo Meier scored for the Devils, but the Bruins dominated the game, with David Pastrnak leading the charge with his 41st goal of the season.
The Bruins took an early lead with goals from Michael Callahan and Jakub Lauko, before the Devils made a brief comeback with goals from Noesen and Meier. However, the Bruins pulled away again with goals from Morgan Geekie, Fraser Minten, and Cole Koepke. Goalie Jeremy Swayman had a strong performance for the Bruins, while the Devils’ goaltender, Markstrom, struggled and was eventually replaced by Jake Allen.
Despite the loss, the Devils remain one point away from clinching a playoff spot. They will have another chance to secure their postseason berth when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.
