Utica Comets Defeat Washington Capitals, 5-2
“I banged my head against the wall every day wondering; ‘What is depth scoring’!?”
– Tom Fitzgerald, former general manager of New Jersey Devils (circa May 8, 2025)
It took one offseason, but Sunny Mehta found the answer to Tom Fitzgerald’s question. And tonight’s game was the shining example of it. On a night when the Utica Comets New Jersey Devils were without multiple regulars due to injury and illness, the depth that Mehta built led the way in a massive 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals. It seems silly to call a mid-November game massive, but given the circumstances, which we’ll get to, tonight’s matchup really was an important win for New Jersey.
