Timo Meier scores twice as Devils take early lead

sportsNov 8, 20262252

Timo Meier scored twice in the second period to put the New Jersey Devils up 2-0 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, including a goal at 11:32 remaining in the period assisted by Declan Chisholm and captain Nico Hischier. Nico Hischier registered his 500th career point on Meier's first tally. Meier’s scoring helped New Jersey build a lead they never surrendered; the Devils finished with a 4-0 win and Meier was credited with the game-winning goal. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 23 shots he faced for his first shutout as a Devil. Toronto out-attempted New Jersey in possession metrics, but the Leafs produced no goals while New Jersey converted on multiple chances.

Congratulations to Nico Hischier, who earned his 500th career point on that first Timo Meier goal. What an achievement by the #NJDevils captain.

That's a perfectly good hit by Dougie Hamilton. Prevented a grade-A chance from Matthews. #NJDevils

I really hate to see this, for Bahl. Calgary sucks, but he's developed into quite a good defenseman, and I'm still a fan of his. Losing Mantha really sucks, he'd really picked it up, lately. I wonder if Noesen is going to replace him for the time being. #NJDevils

Calgary Flames Kevin Bahl will be placed on injured reserve and have season-ending surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, the Flames announced Sunday. Flames coach Ryan Huska said that the defenseman was injured during an off-ice warmup ahead of a 5-3 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Friday. "That's kind of a freak thing," Huska said. "You don't hear of that really, ever. He's doing fine. I mean, as fine as he can be." Bahl leads the Flames with an average ice time of 21:56 in 16 games. He is in the second season of a six-year, $32.1 million contract ($5.35 million average annual value) he signed with Calgary on June 28, 2005. "It's just a terrible break for a guy that I would consider our best player up to this point in the season," Huska said. "Unfortunately, sometimes things happen, and because of that we're losing a really good player for the rest of the year, so it's a tough situation for him, for sure, but he's doing fine. It's just a matter now of waiting to get the surgery done on it." … The Flames recalled defenseman Brayden Pachal for their home game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday (7 p.m. ET; SNW, NBCSP). Colorado Avalanche Cale Makar left practice Sunday for precautionary reasons New Jersey Devils Anthony Mantha did not travel to Toronto with the Devils and will miss some time, coach Sheldon Keefe said Sunday. The forward left a 5-4 overtime win at the New York Islanders on Saturday after taking a high stick to the throat by defenseman Adam Pelech and returned to New Jersey to get evaluated. Mantha has 10 points (five goals, five assists) in 17 games after signing a two-year, $9.5 million contract July 15. The Devils will play 11 forwards and seven defensemen against the Maple Leafs.

Going 11-7 tonight, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Noesen or Tufte weren’t called up shortly if Mantha is going to be out for an extended period of time.

Achilles is a really tough one.

Yeah, never wanna see injuries... Those are the things that can make or break a season... As we know all too well with Jack! 🙏🤞

It was a matter of time before Timo Meier finally scored. The one-timer with Declan Chisholm for his 2nd of the season 1-0 Devils #NJdevils

I'm glad Hellebuyck had a night with no goals against the Leafs. His first shutout as a Devil. Brown's goal with the empty net made me smile. I love when we do that. #NJDevils

Tuesdays game will be way more boring, who does this? Admitting you're not playing Hellebuyck so you don't risk a loss? Patheeetic 🍅🍅🍅 #WinnipegJets #NJDevils

Press release from New Jersey Devils GM "This has been an organizational decision for us that we`ve debated at length. Connor Hellebuyck was adamant that he felt a duty to play on Tuesday in Winnipeg. However, in our estimation playing in this game would potentially give us a reduction in our expected win probability. Even though Connor isn't playing, at his request, we will coordinate a media availability after Tuesday's morning skate at Canada Life Centre -Devils GM Sunny Mehta

Hellebuyck stopped all 23 shots he faced as New Jersey blanked Toronto 4-0. The Leafs out-attempted the Devils 54-45 and still had nothing to show for it. Toronto's skid keeps growing. metricsarena.com/insights/6342… #NHL #HockeySky #NJDevils #MapleLeafs

Much better attention to detail on defense by the Devils in the 2nd period. #NJDevils
