He wasn't as the Carolina Hurricanes scored one goal in the third period and scored another one in the shootout.
That was enough for the last place Hurricanes to take a 2-1 shootout win and the two points at Newark.
The Devils did get a point for forcing extra play for whatever that's worth.
Stephen Gionta scored the only Devils goal (3) in the first period,while Cory Schneider finished with 32 saves in the defeat.
The Devils are now off until Saturday and a visit to the Rangers....
Hell Raisers
1) Best player in red? Cory Schneider.
Schneider kept the Devils in the game and it was his play that gave the Devils a point.
Schneider's robbery on Ron Hainsey's breakaway was sublime and the only goal he allowed in regulation was off a leg,
A super performance that went unrewarded...
2) Not only the goal by Gionta,which was a bit lucky,but the line of Gionta,Tuomo Ruutu and Steve Bernier played reasonably well.
I'm so stretching here.
3) Outshot 33-19 and 15-3 in the second.
Geez...
4) Mike Cammalleri and Adam Larsson returned.
Neither had a huge impact,but I'll give rust as a legitimate excuse,especially to Larsson..
5) What a terrible game.
I felt bad just watching this.
I'm not sure how much more I can take...
Merry Christmas Eve everyone.
