Dmytro Timashov picked up the extra assist on Mueller’s 17thof the season. At 12:08, Michael Carcone beat Evan Cormier with a blast from the top of the circle to give the Marlies their first lead of the night. Adam Brooks and Mason Marchment assisted on Carcone’s ninth of the season. At 14:51, Mueller was on the doorstep again and redirected a point shot from Jeremy Bracco to make it 3-1 with his second of the night. Calle Rosen had the other assist on the power play goal. The Marlies held the Devils to only four shots in the middle frame as they held a 3-1 lead heading into the second intermission.
