Defeating the New York Rangers by a score of 5-2 wasn’t the only thing that the New Jersey Devils celebrated on Thursday night at the Prudential Center.
Yes, the victory marked New Jersey’s first win on the year, but it also resolved a deal between the team’s mascot and TV personality Jimmy Fallon.
Fallon, the host of NBC’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” is a passionate fan of the Broadway Blueshirts. The TV host was sold that rookie Kaapo Kakko and company would take down the Devils during their first matchup of 2019-20, and accepted NJ’s proposal to pie him in the face on air.
