Travis Zajac slammed a rebound off his own previous shot past Carolina's Cam Ward five minutes into overtime to give the New Jersey Devils the 3-2 win in Game 3,take back the home ice advantage and regain the lead in the series two games to one.
The regulation Devils goals were scored by (who else?) Zach Parise and Brian Gionta
The series returns to Raleigh for Game 4 tomorrow night.....
Hell Raisers
1) The injury to Jamie Langenbrunner caused him to miss last night's game and tomorrow nights Game 4.
Langenbrunner is expected to rejoin for the return to New Jersey in Game 5.
2) Bobby Holik was returned to the lineup to take the place of Langenbrunner.
3) The Devils fired 35 shots at Cam Ward,which marked the third time in the series that the Devils were able to put 30+ shots on net.
4) The Devils power play swung and missed as they have for most of the series-the Devils are a lowly 1 of 14 on the man advantage...
5) This is obvious,but Zach Parise is showing why he might be the most underrated player in the league.
Three goals in three games,Parise has singlehandedly been the Devils offense over the last two games...
Bullpen Notes
Ryan Doumit apparently injured his wrist in yesterday's game against Atlanta.
Doumit is getting an MRI on the wrist now.
Doumit would have likely sat anyway against Florida lefty Andrew Miller...
Former Indian farmhand Brian Barton was sent to Atlanta for reliever Blaine Boyer.
This seems to be the typical Atlanta low cost pickup for a player that could prove to be very helpful.
The Tribe lost Barton in the Rule 5 draft before the 2008 season.
The Detroit Lions made some mild changes to their logo.
The lion is now "fiercer".
The Lions have now tweaked their logo/uniforms twice in the last few years and as usually happens downgraded each time.
