The same David Clarkson would commit a silly hooking penalty in overtime to hand the Ottawa Senators a power play that resulted in a 3-2 Senators win.
The Devils did earn a point for an overtime loss.
Dainius Zubrus (11) scored the other Devils goal,

Hell Raisers
1) I know the Devils blew another lead,but looking at things realistically,Ottawa controlled the game for the most part.
Other than the Zubrus goal,the Devils never really got into an offensive groove and the chance that the team had to put the game away that they were unable to capitalize on showed just that.
2) I like David Clarkson as I have noted in the past.
Clarkson might even be my favorite Devil,but his penalty in overtime for hooking was mind numbingly dumb.
Clarkson did exactly what I wanted to see more with his less than a foot rebound for a goal,but he still needs to avoid the dumb penalty,which he clearly committed last night.
3) Martin Brodeur showed good and bad in this one.
Brodeur almost stood on his head at times to keep the Devils in the game,but when needed most against Eric Condra's shorthanded (Yes,another one) shot,Marty simply missed the puck.
No excuses-that play has to be made.
4) Nice fight between Eric Boulton and Ottawa's Chris Neil.
I would have given a close nod to Neil,but Boulton was landing some hard shots as well...
5) Adam Henrique was named the rookie of the month for the league in December.
Henrique continues to have a strong rookie campaign...
