The Chicoutimi Saguenéens player took the opportunity to emulate Hendrix Lapierre by scoring his first NHL point in his very first game. Mercer directed a great shot on the net from Kevin Lankinen and teammate Andreas Johnsson took advantage of the opportunity to push the rebound behind the Hawks' goalie.
For the occasion, the Devils escaped with the win by a score of 4-3 in overtime. Jack Hughes led the Devils' attack with two goals, the most important one coming in overtime.
