Another day Another win

One day after beating the team with the best record in hockey to continue the longest winning streak of the season,the New Jersey Devils stretched the line even farther with a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers.
Devils goals to Ilya Kovalchuk (14),Patrik Elias (13 power play),Jason Arnott (11 and 12 empty net) and Brian Rolston (5 power play).
The Devils will visit Detroit in their final game before the All-Star break on Wednesday night....

Hell Raisers

1) Martin Brodeur returned to the net after skipping the Flyers game and again played well.
The spectacular saves were lacking,but weren't needed as much in this one as Johan Hedberg's game against the Flyers..

2) Three point game for Ilya Kovalchuk with a goal and two assists.
The goal was a deflection off an Andy Greene shot and was the first three point game of the season for Kovalchuk..

3) The Devils power play has begun to arise from a slumber since Jacques Lemaire has begun to use five forwards with the man advantage.
Brian Rolston has suddenly found his shot for now on the point on the power play using this lineup and the power shot that the Devils are paying for has begun to find the net...

4) Alexander Vasyunov played in the win and returned to Albany after the game.
Still wondered why not a defenseman,but why argue with success....

5) Really enjoying the physical play by the Anton Volchenkov/Mark Fraser defensive pairing.
Volchenkov is showing the hard hitting style that made him such a success in Ottawa and Fraser is slowly making a name for himself as the steady,body cracking journeyman defender that good teams always seem to have....

6) Difference make in this one was the backhanded goal by Jason Arnott in the first period with just two seconds remaining.The two goal lead clearly sapped the Panthers and you could see the panic with Scott Clemmensen being yanked for the second stanza.
