James Nichols and Daniel Amoia are live from Prudential Center after the Devils fall 5-3 to the Utah Mammoth. No bounce-back after the 6-0 on Long Island. The Devils are 1-2, the penalty box decided it, and the top line still isn’t clicking.

Evangelista scores twice. Luke Hughes owns a turnover. The power play only cashes a 5-on-3. Siegenthaler leaves hurt. Pesce–Chisholm gets buried. Too early to fire Keefe, not too early to worry.
