All of sudden, it’s a series. And a good one.
The Devils were able to claw out a 5-2 victory over the Lightning in Game 3 of their first-round series Monday night in Newark, cutting the deficit in the best-of-seven contest to 2-1.
It was a whale of a game for the Devils’ Hart Trophy contender, Taylor Hall, and now Game 4 on Wednesday night is a much more intriguing matchup — one that should include a continuation of some of the physical altercations that defined the end of a very competitive game.
