Short supply of power

In a tight checking game,only one puck eluded a goalie and it took until the third shootout turn for Pittsburgh's James Neal to post that goal as the Pittsburgh Penguins took a 1-0 win over the New Jersey Devils in Pittsburgh.
I will not be seeing the Devils game against Buffalo tonight as I will be in Hershey for my annual trip to see the Albany (formerly Lowell) Devils and their prospects.
Please check the new poll to the right for a idea for me,if there is time conflicts over the next few weeks...

Hell Raisers

1) Not much to say for this one,the Devils didn't really have a ton of great scoring chances against Marc/Andre Fleury although Vladimir Zharkov couldn't control the puck in front of the net once against an out of position Fleury that looked to be a sure goal.

2) Colin White and Anton Volchenkov both were banged up in the game and neither will play in Buffalo tonight.
Both players suffered the "lower body injury".

3) Jay Leach was recalled from Albany to play tonight.
As nice as it is for Leach to get an NHL game paycheck,it doesn't help me much as now Leach isn't around to sign his card tonight after the game....

4) New Jersey had power play chances and fanned on all four of them.
Two of them late in the third period were especially large failures with the largest one coming on a pass from Patrik Elias that bounced over the waiting Ilya Kovalchuk's stick on what would have been an excellent chance.


5) It is over despite the Devils earning a point.
Buffalo's win leaves the Devils ten points out with eight to go.
The questions now are where do the Devils settle in for the draft and does Zach Parise return for a cameo?





    
6) If there were no lottery,the Devils would be in the 6th slot in the first round.
New Jersey has three more points than the Islanders (5th) and two fewer than the Blues (7th)..
