Devils flip Flyers 5-2

Adam Henrique scored twice (13 and 14) and Steve Bernier finished with three assists as the New Jersey Devils finished off a tribute weekend to the 1994-95 champions with a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Devils also received goals from Eric Gelinas (6 Power Play),Jacob Josefson (4 Shorthanded) and Stephen Gionta (4).
Keith Kinkaid finished with 25 saves as the Devils finished the homestand with the victory.
The Devils travel to Minnesota on Tuesday....

Hell Raisers

1) The day was started and made by the tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Devils first ever Stanley Cup champions.
The fans really warmed it up and the franchise did a great job paying homage to that team...

2) Adam Henrique's two goals came on two shots,which is a solid shooting percentage.
Henrique also just missed an assist when Travis Zajac clanged a two on one breakaway chance off the pipe...

3) Steve Bernier with three assists?
Not just surprisingly effective,but showing a dimension that he hasn't always had.
Bernier is going to receive a raise next year....

4) Jacob Josefson scored his shorthanded goal off the backhand and Josefson is seeming to revitalize a flagging career.
Josefson is going to be far more productive when allowed to be creative and for the first time in a while,I feel good about his future.

5) Keith Kinkaid got the start and was very strong in goal.
I would say neither goal was on him and he made several strong saves.
I really like Kinkaid and I hope the Devils can retain him next season.
