7 observations from Devils' win over Oilers | How Miles Wood complements Travis Zajac

The Devils are coming home from Europe with two points thanks to Saturday's 5-2 season-opening win over the Edmonton Oilers at Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Two-goal performances by forwards Travis Zajac and Kyle Palmieri highlighted a strong all-around effort for the Devils, who limited the Oilers to just two high-danger scoring chances over the course of the game.

Here are seven observations from the Devils' first win of the season, including a look at why Zajac and Miles Wood have clicked on a line together.

The third line combined for the Devils' third and fourth goals, which helped put the team in the driver's seat in the second and third periods by building on a one-goal lead.
