NHL Highlights | Blackhawks vs. Devils - January 5, 2024

Simon Nemac scored to kick off a three-goal third period and added a helper and Alexander Holtz also pitched in with a goal and an assist as the New Jersey Devils scrapped out a chippy win over the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2.

[@narfidy444]

When the whole narrative of the game revolves around one hit you should probably show the hit lmao

[@jonah.donohue]

They posted it somewhere else. Ask the AI

[@Booker596]

​@jonah.donohue not on the sportsnet channel, which is what @narfidy444 is referring. Apart from that, you shouldnt have to close the highlight video to go find a explanation to what is said during the game! Thats the point of "highlights". I dont watch the NHL channel highlights because they tend to ignore big hits and you've got no chance of seeing fights! Sad sportsnet seems to be going the same way 😔

[@XhaooTV]

They literally post the 30 second clip of him hitting the ice but don’t add the clip into this video, smart I tell you there making money off both videos

[@markbarry9945]

the editing is horrible, I've seen some where they didn't even show all the goals

[@amitbhardwaj7516]

Good win for the Devils, nice to see Simon Nemec get a goal and an assist in this game!

[@SSNESS]

Scott Steven’s hit to the head

[@jeffreyseed7437]

Smith's hit on Bedard was clean, but it is Chicago's superstar, so I get why they were furious. Great comeback win, Devils, I love how you guys never give up. But what impressed me even more is that you guys were all sticking up for each other, getting involved in the scraps, and not being shoved around. I don't really see much of it on this Devils' team.

[@brandonbuckmaster3077]

Clean?? Try illegal.. clearly targets the head. How else do you break someone's jaw? Tell me you're a blind casual fan without actually telling me.

[@jeffreyseed7437]

Smith had his elbow down, and he’s also taller than Bedard. Bedard also needs to keep his head up!

@@Yo_Adrienne he sure celebrated like an AHLer, too. You can taunt if there's 1 minute left in the game, not 21 minutes. The discussion isn't about the goal, it's about the celly. But since you brought it up, he scored on Vitek - one of the very worst goalies this year statistically. Congrats? (It's not quite the clap back you think it is. Most Devils fans will probably tell you the same)

Bedard got manhandled by Kreider the other night too but hes still young and has some size and strength he can gain. Just hope he doesn't get seriously hurt right away

You cannot enjoy a hockey game these days without having to watch a fist fight! It´s seems like this fighting theatre has become a part of a hockey game. It´s ridiculous and sad. Just earlier this week there was couple of kids about 6-12 years of age behing the glass watching their idols play and all the sudden adults start this stupid "scrap" as it was mentioned in this video. The kids really looked like they were scared. The one boy was obviously enjoying the show apparently - and that is sad too. I don´t know what kind of sport we are talking about here. Commentators are speaking about fighting in analytical manner - as if it really is part of the game! It really is disgraceful to hockey. What the puck!
