Sorry, Devils. A victory, today of all days, simply was not in the cards. There would be no rising up in comeback fashion once Carolina jumped out to a 3–0 lead. Jalen Chatfield opened the scoring in the first period followed by two goals in the second period from Logan Stankoven.
Andrei Svechnikov closed things out with an empty net goal late in the third period to secure the win.
Game 2 is set for Tuesday, April 22 at 6:00 p.m. ET from the Lenovo Center before the series shifts to New Jersey for Games 3 and 4.
