Come on, Devils have like the worst NHL offense, it would not be a big surprise without Carlson, either.

We're Touched
The Devils are the NHL's worst offense and have been shut out 8 times this year. Settle down.

Only watched the OT on DVR but good to see strong games from Carly and Holts. They need to be in top from if we gonna make a deep run.

Just watched on DVR...Holtby wasn't tested a lot but he looked himself...skating well and calm at the same time...not swimming and barely moved a muscle on some saves.
Surprised how well Carly looked..glad he got the game winner.
Defensively we were fine against a poor offensive team...I know Jersey tries to shut down transition but we didn't seem to concerned to even try it...seemed Trotz wanted to play Trotz hockey...and our usual suspects "cruising"...a win is a win...oh well, 9 games to go before it counts. Better be buzzing against the Blues because they are seriously fighting not to play the Blackhawks in the 1st round.

Yeh, Blues finish with 3rd best record in NHL and the reward is playing 4th best record and defending champs Hawks. The western playoffs will be wild
Did I mention the new playoffs format is terrible?

With no one standing out in any of the goaltending categories aside from Holtby in wins, I think the Vezina will be his. I really thought Schneider could win it but he got injured.

It's very encouraging to see 70 settle down. He now only has one bad start in his last 5 after coming off of a shaky patch.
Holtbyisms
Matt Irwin is a legit talent
Just call 'em like I see 'em. Suddenly the D will be restored and Holtby's numbers will return. But it's probably just a coincidence.

look at those games played
That's freakin amazing. I so want him to get that record.
Carlson, Holtby and Kuznetsov looked great yesterday. Williams did not, one of the worst in a Caps jersey IMO.
Has anyone reflected about when Backstrom does his stickchecks, he flips his stick over and uses the tip of his blade to whack at the puck instead of sweeping the heel of the blade against the ice. Can't recall ever seeing someone else do that?

Looking at that, I'd have to say even if he ties the record he gets the record since he'll play to many fewer games to get there.
