Meier scored a goal on five shots, added seven hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5. Meier had four points, 18 shots on net, 21 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over five playoff contests.

Devils’ winger Timo Meier, in an attempt to cut-off a pass in the crease, ended up trucking Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen. Andersen fell flat back into the net, and play was stopped so a trainer could tend to the veteran goalie.
