Devils win matinee over Islanders in shootout

Mike Cammalleri and Jacob Josefson each scored in the shootout to overcome one of the worst offensive periods that a team can play as the New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Islanders at the Rock 3-2.
New Jersey received goals from John Moore (1) and Bobby Farnham (1) in regulation to force the extra play.
New Jersey will make their first trip to the Islanders new home on Tuesday for a rematch..

Hell Raisers

1) Had to feel good for Bobby Farnham,who was active for his first game as a Devil since being picked up off waivers and scored his first NHL goal along with an assist.
The 26 year old has been well traveled and even if Farnham does nothing else in his career-he had one big day.

2) When I had a little time away from the team was when the Devils added Bobby Farnham off waivers,so I didn't have a chance to comment.
Bobby Farnham will be the first of many players to arrive in Newark that have a background with the Penguins.
Ray Shero and John Hynes were part of the Penguins organization and you always bring in people that you know.
Look for more to come.

3) Incredibly disappointed in the play in the third period.
You cannot have much worse of an offensive performance than one shot on goal that came with 30 seconds to go in the period...
Simply awful.

4) In notching the win,Cory Schneider had a bad game.
Franz Neilsen's goal beat him badly on a shot that was very stoppable and Neilsen again beat Schneider in overtime with the puck trickling through.
Only the hockey gods allowed Schneider to make the save by falling on his back after nearly knocking it in and Damon Severson's help also almost putting the puck in the net...
Sometimes luck is all you need...

5) The Devils were outplayed and somehow came away with two points.
That's what the game is about,but I'm more concerned about poor play.
Games like this are OK on occasion,but I'm looking forward to more on Tuesday than just the Barclay's Center.
