DeBrincat had 27 goals and a career-best 39 assists in his only season with Ottawa.'I thought we turned the game in the second period,' Devils coach Lindy Ruff said. 'That wasn't by any means a Picasso.'Vanecek, a revelation for the Devils last season when he won 33 games, made his best save at 8:13 of the second, denying Andrew Copp at the doorstep after Copp accepted a pass from Sprong on a 2-on-1 break.
