Another lead choked away-Devils clawed by Panthers

The New Jersey Devils started stronger than in any game this season other than their blazing start and collapse in their opener at home against Winnipeg in a day game against the Florida Panthers with four consecutive goals after Florida scored sixteen seconds into the game.
And then the Winnipeg parallels continued as the Devils allowed five goals in a row to Florida and allowed the Panthers to leave town with a 6-4 win.
Four Devils scored their first goals of the season in the defeat-  Jesper Bratt, Will Butcher, Taylor Hall, and Pavel Zacha.
The still winless Devils will return Thursday night against the New York Rangers at home.

Hell Raisers

1) The worst news from the loss wasn't the loss as Nico Hischier left the game in the first period and did not return.
No word on the injury or how serious the injury is at this time, but any missed time would be a huge shot to an already reeling team.

2) The powerplay struggles continued for the Devils as, despite their four goals, the Devils didn't score in any of their three chances with the extra man.
Not sure what the answer to that problem is, but one idea could be placing Taylor Hall, Jack Hughes, and Nikita Gusev on the same unit and see if all that firepower can make anything happen.
I'm not saying that works any better than anything else, but at this point, I'd try anything.

3) Matt Tennyson made his NHL debut after being called up from Binghamton to replace Andy Greene after Greene was placed on the IR
Congrats to him, although I didn't see very much from Tennyson to think of him as any more than what he is- a replacement call-up type.
In other words, walk, don't run for your Matt Tennyson Devils jersey.

4) Pavel Zacha finished with a goal and two assists, so that's a good game on the offensive side for Zacha.
Zacha was also seeing some top-six line time as well, so I guess Zacha's OK with John Hynes for a game or two.

5)  I just don't have much more in me.
Not the watching, the loss in such spectacular fashion and this wasn't to Winnipeg, a solid team, it was the Florida Panthers, a team that has struggled in recent seasons.
To lose like this again, where everything just went up in flames (not the Atlanta or Calgary kind), I just feel numb and you shouldn't feel that way less than two weeks into a season.
I haven't seen a team go up in flames like that since Jim Cornette set fire to Ronnie Garvin's face and just have nothing else to say.
See you guys, Thursday against the Rangers.
