LAS VEGAS, NV - It was fitting that in Jacob Markstrom's return to the New Jersey Devils lineup, we would have a goaltending duel on our hands. In Vegas, Markstrom went save-for-save against Golden Knight's Adin Hill through the opening 40 minutes. Both goaltenders were a perfect 16-for-16 until the game's first power play changed the momentum.
