Devils finish season sweep of Lightning with 2-1 win | Rapid reaction
The Devils finished a season sweep of the Eastern Conference's top team.
Two goals from Nico Hischier and Kyle Palmieri over the first two periods backed up a strong outing by goalie Keith Kinkaid in a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark.
The Devils finished 3-0-0 against the Lighting for the regular season.
Less than 24 hours after finishing with 40 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, Kinkaid carried over his strong play.
Kinkaid kept the Lightning scoreless through the first 44:22 of the game before they struck for a power-play goal in the third period. Ondrej Palat punched in a rebound after Kinkaid made an initial save.
