Tedenby's goals (6 and 7) were sandwiched around a late third period goal by Nick Palmeiri (5) that tied the contest and forced the overtime.The Devils are today before back to back games against Toronto and San Jose....
Hell Raisers
1) The overtime was exciting with both teams flying up and down the ice,but the rest of the game was pretty slow paced.Not one of the most fun games that I have covered until later in the game.
2) Mattias Tedenby scored his two goals,but did that in under nine minutes of playing time.
Tedenby still doesn't play the defensive game to Jacques Lemaire's liking,but many scorers don't.
3) Nick Palmeiri is playing super hockey offensively as the compliment on the Ilya Kovalchuk line.
Palmieri's rugged style plays well with Kovalchuk and his play thus far since moving on that line shows signs of a Devil mainstay for the future...
4) Johan Hedberg earned the win with twenty saves replacing Martin Brodeur.
Both Carolina goals were scored on the power play by rookie Jeff Skinner,who is VERY impressive.
5) Anton Volchenkov handed Carolina one of the man advantages with a dumb elbowing penalty that will get him a fine for sure and possibly a suspension.
Jacques Lemaire would give Volchenkov only two more shifts for the remainder of the game and rightfully so.
One doesn't expect that type of ridiculous play from a veteran....
6) Both Tedenby goals were set by strong passes.The first with a beautiful behind the back dish from
Jason Arnott and the game winner was a excellent pass from Travis Zajac.
Both were the type that good teams make and bad teams miss...
