*Box Score
Blake Coleman opened the scoring for the Devils at 10:41 of the first period with his team-leading 14th goal of the season. He buried the puck after Yohann Auvitu's shot got through the legs of Rochester goaltender Linus Ullmark. Brian Gibbons picked up the secondary assist on the goal, his 12th of the season.
