    Game Recap: New Jersey Devils v.s Winnipeg Jets 10/4/19 (NJD Home Opener)

    Game Recap:

    Tonight the New Jersey Devils opened up their season at home against the Winnipeg Jets. The first two periods saw the Devils come out and take a commanding 4-0 lead over the Jets. Goal scorers featured Nikita Gusev (who scored his 1st NHL goal), Sami Vatanen, and Blake Coleman who scored twice. Coleman’s second goal of the season is an early goal of the year candidate as he was down on the ice and lifted the puck with one hand on the stick and into the back of the net for a sensational highlight reel goal.

    In the second period, the Winnipeg Jets would score their first goal at the 19:49 mark as Dmitry Kulikov would blast a shot from the point past Devils goaltender Cory Schneider. The Devils would lead 4-1 after the second period.

    However, things started to turn around and change in the third. Devils goaltender Cory Schneider would leave the game due to injury and backup MacKenzie Blackwood would enter the game. The Jets were able to fight their way back in the third to tie the game on goals from Jack Roslovic, Matthieu Perrault, and newly acquired Neal Pionk. At the end of three periods, the scored would be tied 4-4 going into overtime.

    The first two minutes of overtime was extremely exciting as both teams would exchange several two on one chances to put the game away for either side. However, the game would be decided in a shoot out where the Jets got the game winning shootout goal by their captain Blake Wheeler. The Jets would go onto win the game with the final score being 5-4.

    TXHT Jersey Share – Caps Clinic

    Today on the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look back at this really cool jersey that was worn for the 2012 Capitals Clinic which was won at a Caps Care Auction by my friends Mark Whiting and John Stortz.

    So first off I want to start by expressing my gratitude to both Mark and John for allowing me to be a part of this, and all of the great memories that have come from it. Being able to be on the ice with defenseman Dennis Wideman, forwards Mathieu Perreault and Marcus Johansson, goaltender Michal Neuvirth, and assistant coach Jim Johnson and learning from them, and being able to work on my game was just an amazing moment.

    Top two moments overall were getting tripped by Perreault in board battle drills, and then working on net front battles as both a defenseman and forward with Johansson. Being able to work with Neuvirth, Johnson, and Wideman was really cool too, but I took the most from Johansson and Perreault as those are two big parts to my game as a player.
