But it was kind of nice when I knew for sure,” Boldy said. “I had time to make the move that I wanted to make, kind of make a read on the goalie coming in rather than trying to fire one.”The game was a chippy, defensive struggle. After two scoreless periods, the Devils were outshooting the Wild 22-19.“It was a tough game,” New Jersey’s Jesper Bratt said. “That’s how it’s going to be this time of year where two teams that are going to the playoffs — this is how it’s going to be. Not a lot of scoring chances, and tight defense all game, and obviously tough until the last second.”M...
