[Gulitti]_Timo Meier scoring a couple goals in the third period makes this a good night for the Devils regardless of them losing the shootout to the Lightning. It often takes time for a player to feel comfortable with a new team after a trade. A two-goal game always helps.

I miss you TG 🥲
Anyone worried about Meier fitting in on this team because he didn’t finish for a few games is out of their mind.
Notice how the goals came when they were playing super aggressive and not slow. Go figure, right?
He’s at his best in the system we supposedly want, so we just have to keep making sure we play full intensity always.
Unlike the first game, while the calls became annoying, at least the Devils worked really hard in last night’s SO loss.
Best example of Timo getting accustomed was his OT shift with Bratt. He had the puck and you could tell he was a bit confused along the lines of: “You’re telling me I dont shoot this right now and we’re just patient?”
