An inspired New Jersey Devils squad did all that they needed to do in the first period and they eased to a 3-2 win over the visiting Boston Bruins.
The Devils fired in all three of their goals in the first period as they were scored by Zach Parise (32),Rob Niedermayer (9) and David Clarkson (8),
The Devils will host Pittsburgh tomorrow night as the Devils make a one night only return to the classic red and green jerseys of yesteryear...
Hell Raisers
1) Yes,the Devils were dominant in the first period and never threatened thereafter,but I would have still liked to have seen more aggressiveness after the first.
I would have felt even better about the win,if the Devils had roared out of the gates in the second period with a goal to really slam the door.
2) Great night for David Clarkson with a goal and assist and I thought the assist was going to be a goal for number 23,but replays showed Rob Neidermayer with the redirection.
3) I did like seeing Jamie Langenbrunner take up for Zach Parise in the first period after a big hit and then later in the stanza Rod Pelley do the same for Langenbrunner,getting into a scuffle.
That shows me that even though their are kinks to be worked through,the Devils aren't having locker room issues...
4) Well played game by Martin Brodeur,who was beaten only by a wild corner shot and the extra man at the end of the game and what a great pass by Brodeur to Clarkson on his goal as well.
5) The Devils moved to within two points of Pittsburgh in the Atlantic Division and can tie the Penguins with a win tomorrow night against them....
6) Red and Green night against the Pens,here is hoping for a strong effort in the old jerseys!
