The New Jersey Devils entered the third period at the Rock trailing the Montreal Canadiens by a goal but twice overtook Montreal only to blow leads of 2-1 and 3-2 with less than four minutes remaining in the game,That then left the Devils to their old bugaboo-the shootout,where they did score once (for the first time all season),but still lost 4-3.
The Devils received goals by Michael Ryder (7),Patrik Elias (6) and Andrei Loktionov (3) in the third period for their scores.
The Devils will play on Friday against the Red Wings.
Hell Raisers 1) Reid Boucher made his NHL debut and it was an impressive one as Boucher finished with an assist and scored the first goal for the Devils all season in the shootout.
How long Boucher stays with the team is questionable,but Boucher looks to have offensive potential in an organization that needs it..
2) Boucher was on the track of Devils fans since he broke Steven Stamkos' junior hockey goal scoring record and the fans gave him a rousing welcome.
It's only one game,but I think he kinda reminds me of a guy that used to wear number nine.
3) More Boucher-He is reported to be "a real cutie" from Rachel. Mr Henrique might want to watch out...
4) Cory Schneider was awful in this one.
If you want to be the blaming type,you could tag the loss on him.
The first and third goals were on Schneider and the shootout performance was downright bitter.
Just a bad night,...
5) Michael Ryder has said in the past that he is a streaky player and he is showing just that.
After not scoring in what seems to be forever,he scored in both ends of the home and home.Ryder just might be one of those players that scores in bunches and you live with the long dull stages..
