The Devils will have two days off before a Tuesday game at the Rock against the same Winnipeg Jets in the first of a six game homestand.
Hell Raisers
1) The Kurtis Foster goal that tied the game came right off a faceoff win by Dainius Zubrus and saw Foster rip off a shot that Ondrej Pavelec had little chance against.
The Foster shot,which ranks as the most powerful among Devil defensemen,was mentioned as the main reason that Foster was brought to New Jersey.
2) The goal was the second of the season for Foster,but his first as a Devil.
I will not be making the distinction between Devils and non-Devils goals in the stat line as possible new additions come to the team...
3) Patrik Elias scored his goal off a deflection of a Adam Larsson shot/pass that saw Elias get to the side of the net and be virtually uncovered.
Larsson will be an outstanding offensive defenseman,if he can show that type of passing ability as his game matures...
4) Elias had a chance to slam the door completely on the Jets with a late period penalty shot,but Elias has at the end of a long shift,when the penalty occurred and not even a time out seemed to revitalize him and the fatigue showed on his missed shot...
5) Martin Brodeur bounced back a bit after a rough game in Calgary,but the goal he allowed should have been stopped.
Andrew Ladd's shot hit off Brodeur's glove and should have been a routine save...
6) Adam Henrique missed the game with a "mild groin strain".
No word if his availability for Tuesday's game.
