NEWARK, NJ—The New Jersey Devils dropped their fourth-straight loss on Thursday night, after losing 4-3 in a shootout to the Edmonton Oilers and are winless through their first four games for the third time since 2013-14.
Not only are the Devils 0-2-2, but head coach John Hynes’ squad has also surrendered consecutive third period leads on home ice. Keep in mind that the Devils are 0-for-11 on the power play and have the worst penalty kill in the league (7-for-13, 46.2%).
Coach Hynes addressed some strong points during his postgame press conference on how the team can “rectify” its unproductive power play, which is too talented not regroup and transform into one of the better man advantages in the league.
