Boston's David Krejci was the Devils nemesis on this night as he scored three of the four Bruin goal including the game winner.New Jersey goals to David Clarkson (25),Zach Parise (24) and Patrik Elias (20).
The Devils travel to Washington tonight for a showdown with the Capitals-Great,Beninati and Laughlin-whoo hoo...
Hell Raisers
1) The Devils did salvage a point out of the Boston trip,which is something considering the competition,but I am still somewhat disappointed.
On an evening that saw Tim Thomas not as sharp as usual,the Devils should have been able to take advantage of that and grab two points.
2) The power play was 0 for 3 and not exactly potent as I did not see many great chances that Tim Thomas had to make great saves on.
3) Mixed bag from the blueline-solid games from Andy Greene and especially Bryce Salvador,but Adam Larsson still looks uneasy at times and Marek Zidlicky has done little for me in his adjustment period.
4) Super wraparound by David Clarkson on his goal.
Clarkson has not scored as much on the wrap this season as in the past and it was nice to see the return of it to his toolbox...
5) Martin Brodeur will get a break tonight in D.C. as Johan Hedberg will get the start.
I like the idea as Brodeur has played a lot in recent games and giving him this night off allows him to be rested for next week,which features all games against the rival New York teams with two games at "Beautiful" Nassau Coliseum against the Islanders and a home outing each against the Islanders and Rangers.
6) Nice fight too in the first period between Eric Boulton and Shawn Thornton.
Might have been the longest of the season for a Devil thus far.
Nice to see Boulton contributing SOMETHING!
