Pietrangelo Lends Helper in Win vs. Penguins
Alex Pietrangelo notched an assist in Saturday’s 3-2 win over the Penguins. Pietrangelo helped out on Brendan Brisson’s first NHL tally, which stood as the game-winner. Pietrangelo hasn’t put together a point streak of more than three contests this season. Still, he has contributed a goal and four assists over his last 10 outings. The defenseman is at 19 points, 100 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 27 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 41 appearances in a top-four role.
Daws Suffers Third Straight Loss
Nico Daws made 30 saves in a 6-2 loss to Dallas on Saturday. The speed of the Stars put the Devils D on their heels, and Daws could only hold the proverbial fort for so long. He has lost three consecutive games this week with 11 goals allowed. Daws time in the net may not last long if the Devils go out and trade for a goalie, as rumors continue to suggest. Don’t over-invest in him yet.
