Andrew Hammond (Bowling Green) allowed just one goal on Sunday. Unfortunately, his New Jersey Devils teammates couldn't score any for him.
The visiting Detroit Red Wings made a first-period goal stand up, and then added two empty-net tallies in the final three minutes of regulation, for a 3-0 victory in an NHL contest on Sunday afternoon at the Prudential Center in Newark. Both teams also had a goal disallowed during the game, the Devils for an offside play in the second period, and the Red Wings for goalie interference in the final frame.
Hammond, who backstopped BGSU from 2009 to 2013, finished with 21 saves for the Devils, who have now lost three consecutive games and five of their last six outings, including shootouts. New Jersey also tied a club record with just 17 shots on goal in the loss.
Danny Dekeyser (Western Michigan) recorded an assist for the Red Wings, who snapped a two-game losing skid with the win. He would have also drawn an assist on the disallowed Detroit goal.
The two teams will meet again in New Jersey on Friday night to close out the 2021-22 NHL regular season. Both clubs have been eliminated from Stanley Cup Playoff contention.
