Devils D Kevin Bahl played his second game of the season. G Akira Schmid also was scratched as Devils newcomer Jon Gillies dressed as Blackwood’s backup. Subban was held out of the game as a precaution while C Jesper Boqvist was unavailable because he entered COVID-19 protocol. ”I tried to grab the ones that were showing they were tough but they didn’t really accept it." “Everyone started to grab each other,'' said Lehner, whose mask came off during the skirmish. Both received 10-minute misconducts, as did Vegas defenseman Alex Pietrangelo. The game ended with a fracas that involved Lehner and Devils defenseman Mason Geertsen. ”It’s a very emotional countdown for me." “That fan base saved my life,'' Lehner said. Lehner will return to Long Island on Sunday for the first time as a visitor since his impactful single season with the team in 2018-19 during which he went public about his mental health woes.
