Killer Clarkson leads Devils

This will be brief since it is two days old,but wanted to get it posted anyway.
I did manage to use my time yesterday to get pictures of the "big ball stadiums" and will try to be working on those in a few days.

David Clarkson scored two goals (11 and 12) and that was all the New Jersey Devils needed as the Devils lock down defense did just that in a 3-0 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Ohio Capital.
Nick Palmieri (7) scored the other of the Devils goals.

New Jersey continues their four city road swing tonight in Boston against the Bruins...

Hell Raisers

1) David Clarkson's game has been revitalized since being placed on a line with Mattias Tedenby and Jacob Josefson.
Clarkson has struggled this year and it has become very apparent that he needs to be with talented offensive players and then clean up messes around the net.
Playing Clarkson on the fourth line was not giving him chances offensively and his game suffered as a result.

2) Clarkson had a chance to earn the hat trick in the third period,but his backhand on the breakway went left on the net and Steve Mason.

3) Martin Brodeur earned the shutout against just 13 Columbus shots and only one was a difficult save.
Considering that he faced just 12 shots in the Washington loss,the defense is certainly keeping Brodeur's workload down.

4) Mike Hoeffel will be joining Albany on an entry level contract and will finish the season in the AHL.
Hoeffel was the Devils top pick in 2007 (2nd round) and played his college hockey at Minnesota...

5) I will be in Hershey Saturday night for Albany;s visit there,so I'll be writing about that trip next week...

I hope to be back with an inbox cleaning or the Devils-Bruins game.
Lots of features that I hope to be working on over the next week....
