I think it\u2019s an atmosphere that I if you kind of harness it the right way you can really feed off of. \u2026 I think both teams were trying to fight for every inch of the ice and I felt like I was a part of that too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Devils closed their longest road <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> of the season by going 3-1-1, including victories over a pair of desperate teams in Vegas and Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re a good team,\u201d New Jersey coach Lindy Ruff said. \u201cAnd we knew at times they would have the edge and I thought we answered the call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, in more ways than one. The Devils stayed active on defense, with discipline in front of Hammond to also beat Vegas with blocked shots (24-16) and hits (41-26).<\/p>\n<p>At times, New Jersey looked like the team jockeying for playoff position, with players standing rather than sitting on the bench, cheering exuberantly every time Hammond made a save.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlayed an awesome game,\u201d Ruff said of Hammond. \u201cHe made a lot of great saves. He was there when we broke down, he was there in the early breakaways, he gave us a chance to settle into the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1392254735.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Andreas Johnsson celebrates after his third period goal.\" class=\"wp-image-21950665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1392254735.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1392254735.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1392254735.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1392254735.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Andreas Johnsson celebrates after his third period goal. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NHLI via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Keegan Kolesar and Chandler Stephenson scored for Vegas and Robin Lehner stopped 25 shots.<\/p>\n<p>Taking advantage of a Vegas turnover in its own zone, Devils center Michael McLeod fired a slap shot that Lehner stopped, but Bastian skated by at the right time to tap home the rebound and give New Jersey an early lead in the opening period.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Knights got the equalizer late in the second period from the unlikeliest of candidates, as Kolesar skated down the right side and sent the puck across the slot, then off New Jersey defenseman P.K. Subban\u2019s skate and past Hammond.<\/p>\n<p>Vegas\u2019 offensive flame was quickly extinguished early in the third, when Johnsson grabbed a rebound on the right side of the goal and sent it top shelf over Lehner\u2019s glove to put New Jersey back in front by a goal.<\/p>\n<p>Boqvist essentially sealed things midway through the third, when he drove in and around Alex Pietrangelo and slid the puck into the net. It appeared Lehner never even saw the attempt, as he watched Boqvist skate into the corner for at least two seconds before realizing the puck was in the net.<\/p>\n<p>With Lehner pulled for a man advantage, Stephenson made it a one-goal game with 1:14 left in the game, but Vegas couldn\u2019t tie it.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Knights have now registered 83 shots on goal in their past two games but scored only twice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to give some credit to both goalies, but we also have to look in the mirror,\u201d DeBoer said. \u201cThis has been a historical problem here, going dry at the wrong times. There\u2019s no excuses this time of year, you gotta find a way to win and step up in the most important moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe circumstances have put us in a situation here where we have no margin of error. That\u2019s a tough way to play \u2026 we don\u2019t have the luxury of being able to relax and play loose this time of year.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
