Game #2 Preview: New Jersey Devils vs Buffalo Sabres
The Essentials:
Matchup: The New Jersey Devils vs. Buffalo Sabres
Date: October 5, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM ET
Broadcast: NHLN, MSGSN, MSG-B
Listen: Devils Hockey Network
Last Devils Game: On October 4, 2024, the Devils defeated the Buffalo Sabres by a score of 4-1. See Jackson’s recap here.
The Lineups:
It is no secret that these rosters are basically locked for this trip to Prague. I expect the Devils and Sabres to maintain the same lineups as Friday’s game except for the goalies. Jake Allen will likely be the starter for the Devils and Devon Levi for the Sabres. Both head coaches will want to give their teams time to shake off any remaining rust and reestablish chemistry before addressing any potential issues. See Buffalo’s lines from Friday’s game below:
Offense
Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Benson-Cozens-Quinn
Greenway-McLeod-Zucker
Malenstyn-Lafferty-NAK
Defense
Dahlin-Jokiharju
Byram-Power
Samuelsson-Clifton
(per Lance Lysowski and Natural Stat Trick)
Matchup to Watch:
Tage Thompson was the Sabres’ leading scorer in 2023-2024, but the top line struggled in game one. The Sabres’ line of JJ Peterka, Tage Thompson, and Alex Tuch posted a Corsi For Percentage Relative (CF% Rel) of -18.23 (per Natural Stat Trick at 5-on-5). I’m not a big stats or analytics guy, but that is not good. Not surprisingly, the Devils played their top defensive pairing of Dougie Hamilton and Brenden Dillon against the Sabres’ top line for most of the game. It is nice to have a healthy Dougie Hamilton back! Both defensively, matching up with a big guy like Thompson, and offensively by getting shots on net through traffic. Will the Hamilton – Dillon duo have the same success in game two?
Devil to Watch
Head coach Sheldon Keefe showed a lot of confidence in Seamus Casey in his regular season debut. Casey was given the opportunity to quarterback the second power play unit in the final seconds of the first power play. I’d like to see the rookie get the same opportunity on Saturday. I thought he played well at both ends of the ice on Friday and can’t wait to see what he can do once he feels comfortable at the NHL level.
Adjustment for Game Two
The issue I have chosen is minor and it may just be me, but the holding penalties drive me crazy. The Devils had three holding penalties and a “slashing” call on Erik Haula. That was not a slash, but that is a separate conversation. There is no reason to take a hand off the stick to grab at an opposing player. I have flashbacks of my youth hockey coach yelling to move your feet instead of reaching or grabbing. As I said, it is minor and the penalty kill played well, but I hope they eliminate the holding penalties moving forward.
The Devils had everything go their way on Friday and let’s hope that continues.
Your Thoughts
What will you be watching for? Will Hamilton and Dillon get the best of the matchup against Thompson’s line again? What did you think of Casey’s play in game one? Thank you for reading and GO DEVILS!

Retired New Jersey State Police trooper who stormed Capitol is sentenced to probation
WASHINGTON — A retired New Jersey State Police trooper who stormed the U.S. Capitol with a mob of Donald Trump supporters was sentenced to probation instead of prison on Friday, as the federal courts reached a milestone in the punishment of Capitol rioters.
Videos captured Michael Daniele, 61, yelling and flashing a middle finger near police officers guarding the Capitol before he entered the building on Jan. 6, 2021.
Daniele expressed his regret for his role in the attack before U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced him to two years of probation, including 30 days of home confinement with electronic monitoring, and ordered him to pay a $2,500 fine. Prosecutors had recommended an 11-month prison sentence for Daniele.
“My family has been through hell,” Daniele said before learning his sentence. “I would never do anything like this again.”
The number of sentencings for Capitol riot cases topped the 1,000 mark on Friday, according to an Associated Press review of court records that began more than three years ago.
More than 1,500 people have been charged with Jan. 6-related federal crimes. At least 647 of them have been convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment ranging from a few days to 22 years. Over 200 have been sentenced to some form of home confinement.
In June, Mehta convicted Daniele of misdemeanor charges after a trial without a jury. But the judge acquitted him of two felony counts of interfering with police during a civil disorder.
Daniele served as a New Jersey State Police trooper for 26 years.
“I cannot be possible that you thought it was OK to be inside the United States Capitol on January 6th,” the judge said.
Daniele wasn’t accused of physically assaulting any police officers or causing any damage at the Capitol that day.
“You’re not criminally responsible for that, but you do bear some moral obligation for it,” the judge said.
A prosecutor said Daniele “should have known better” given his law-enforcement training and experience.
“By being there, he lent his strength to a violent mob,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Carolyn Jackson said.
Daniele traveled from Holmdel, N.J., to Washington, D.C., to attend then-President Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House on Jan. 6, when Congress convened a joint session to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.
Before Trump finished speaking, Daniele marched to the Capitol and joined hundreds of other rioters at the Peace Circle, where the mob breached barricades and forced police to retreat. Daniele entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing doors and walked through the Crypt. He spent roughly six minutes inside the building.
When the FBI interviewed him, Daniele referred to the Jan. 6 attack as a “set up” and suggested that other rioters “looked like cops,” according to prosecutors.
“He also blamed the violence of January 6 on the police — despite serving decades with law enforcement himself — accusing the police officers facing an unprecedented attack by a crowd of thousands of not following proper riot control practices,” prosecutors wrote.
Defense attorney Stuart Kaplan said incarcerating Daniele would be a waste of taxpayer dollars.
“He made poor choices and a bad decision,” the lawyer said. “I think he’s got more credits than debits.”
