Nemec scores 1st goal of career and Schmid makes 37 saves as Devils top Kraken 2-1
It took all of three NHL games for Simon Nemec to score his first goal. Nemec scored midway through the second period, Akira Schmid made 16 of his 37 saves in the third and the New Jersey Devils beat the skidding Seattle Kraken 2-1 on Thursday night for their fifth victory in six games. Nemec, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 draft, made his debut last week at home against San Jose and had two assists in his first game.
