He skated off the ice gingerly and missed the remained on the sport.
• The Devils have goaltender Jacob Markstrom again within the internet for the second straight sport. And so they’re thanking the celebs (no pun supposed) for that truth.

He was being hounded from behind by Mathew Dumba, however managed to get inside leverage to guard the puck and tried to go backhand five-hole. Good show of smarts and arms from Dillon.
