PrintDespite trailing most of the game the Devils did a good job of limiting Nashville's scoring chances. They held them to 4 or less chances each period and less than 3 chances per period as even strength. The Devils had a total of 17 scoring chances but thanks to Pekka Rinne only managed to score on one. Nashville had 11 total chances and converted on 2.
Ilya Kovalchuk finished the night +4 at even strength, along with his linemates Josefson and Palmieri. Kovalchuk had 3 chances on goal as well as 3 chance assists. Parise and Elias also had strong nights, even though they finished -2 and -1 respectively. Parise led the team with 4 chances on goal and Elias set up 4 scoring chances. David Clarkson was another forward who stood out. He had 2 strong chances early in the 2nd and scored on a beautifully set up chance from Tedenby.
Mark Fayne and Henrik Tallinder led among the defensemen. Not only did they each finish at +6 or higher but they also combined for 3 chances on goal. I would also like to note the strong play of Nashville's top defensive pair Weber and Suter. They did a good job of shutting down the Elias line and the Larsson-Greene pairing.

NJ used its D much differently this game, but that’s mostly because it could. Larsson and Greene still got tons of offensive zone faceoffs (75%-25% O-Zone/D-Zone), but Tallinder and Fayne were also above 50% in the O-Zone. Meanwhile Salvador and Volchenkov were even. On Thursday, Larsson was at 50%, but Fayne and Tallinder were at 11%. Yet Salvador and Volchenkov were at 63%. I think DeBoer is feeling out how he’s going to use these pairings, but I suspect Tallinder and Fayne will be getting the difficult ice time in general.

That makes sense to me. While Fayne isn’t exactly what one would call a veteran, the Tallinder-Fayne pairing has more experience than Greene-Larsson. The Devils aren’t bringing along Larsson slowly, but I would agree that DeBoer would use Tallinder-Fayne pairing against tougher competition if given the choice. What we saw against Nashville is a sign of what to expect on the road when DeBoer doesn’t necessarily have that choice.

What do you consider difficult ice time? Greene-Larsson were up against Predator’s top D-pairing. and played the most minutes even though Greene was not on the PP and Larsson shared time with Tallinder on the PP. I would think those two had the tougher minutes last game.
It’s firstly about face-offs zones, Fayne-Tallinder pair’s getting the most of their Face-offs in the D-zone, and it’s a pretty tough job.
I’m not sure being up against a top D could be a real part of “difficult ice-team” (for Defensemen), even if that doesn’t make their lives easier, that could’ve been just coincidence. On the other hand during games, coaches are always working on favorable match-up between offensive lines and Defensive pairs.
But I’m maybe wrong, that’s just how I see “difficult ice time” for defensemen.

I consider difficult ice time -
A: ice time against the team’s best forwards
B: ice time that starts in the defensive zone
A and B often go together. I don’t really consider the other team’s D pairing, but I suppose against a team like Nashville that has to enter into things.

Something I noticed, that I really came to appreciate, was the in game adjustments DeBoer made when things weren’t going well, especially when it concerned the forward lines. And also the defense pairings as well, to an extent. I noticed DeBoer switched up personnel a tad throughout the later parts of the game, mostly Larsson and Fayne’s line. Everything seemed to be done with a purpose, he wasn’t blindly juggling lines in desperation.
