Devils Daily: Back on Track, Casey Leading Michigan

The New Jersey Devils got off to a much better start on Friday and as a result, they walked away with two points. It’s a step in the right direction, however, we’ve been here before this season. Even Devils head coach Lindy Ruff touched on the fact that New Jersey has gained momentum between games before, yet squandered it in a single period with a lackadaisical performance. Hopefully, that’s not the case after Friday and they’re back on track.
