o his resume' as the Devils defeated Pittsburgh 2-0 in Newark.The Devils will not have much time to celebrate as they travel to Chicago tonight to take one of the West's elite teams in the Black Hawks.
Devils goals to Niclas Bergfors (13) and Jamie Langenbrunner (9 empty net).
Hell Raisers
1) This was a well played and even game.
Both teams with 32 shots and only the first period goal by Niclas Bergfors eluded either goalie.
Both Brodeur and Pittsburgh backup Brent Johnson were at the top of their game and that made it a fun game to watch.
2) Zach Parise must have gotten under Sidney Crosby's skin in the game as the two stars exchanged words followed by a Crosby slash across Parise's arm.
Surprisingly,no penalty was called,but this could have been a call to soothe the Penguins and Crosby,who spent most of the night complaining about penalties to the point that the arbiters once stopped the game to tell Crosby and the Pittsburgh bench to stop whining.
3) David Clarkson left the game in the second period and may have re injured his right leg.
Here is hoping that the combative Clarkson didn't come back too soon in a hurry a
nd miss more time over the long term.4) The goal by Bergfors came less than two minutes into the game and on an odd angle from just outside of the right faceoff circle.
Those are the type of shots that goalies often have the toughest time handling as often they don't expect the shot or even see the puck flying at them...
5) Bryce Salvador missed the game and will not be with the team in Chicago.
Matt Corrente played in his place and Pierre Luc LeBlond was placed on the IR to make place on the roster..
