The offense still needs more production and the power play is still terrible,but the Devils used an excellent outing from Martin Brodeur and just enough offense to break their three game losing streak in Anaheim with a 2-1 win over the Ducks.
Patrik Elias gunned a one timer (2) past Jonas Hiller to break a 1-1 tie early in the third period and the Devils hung on until the wire.
Jamie Langenbrunner tied the game in the second period with his first goal of the campaign.
The Devils are in Los Angeles tonight against the Kings before getting one day off before visiting Vancouver on Monday.
Hell Raisers
1) Nice to see that Alexander Vasyunov picked up the assist on the game winning goal.Vasyunov might be helpful in this team waking up from its slumbering start.
2) I missed the game (work) as I will tonight's game,but the Anaheim radio were effusive in the praise of Marty Brodeur on the evening,although In Lou We Trust reports that the Ducks continually tried to beat Brodeur high which likely plays into Marty's hands...
3) Matt Corrente's broken hand looks to be better than the broken one suffered by Mark Fraser earlier in the year.Corrente will not need surgery and could return in ten days.
Meanwhile,Fraser was placed on the IR and be out for four to six weeks...
4) The power play continues to struggle with another zero for four night.
Wasn't the Kovalchuk signing supposed to cure some of this?It sure has not thus far.
5) That is about all I have considering a low scoring game and I didn't see it,but a win is a win and this one was desperately needed!
Hopefully,the team can build on this tonight in LA!
