Adam Larsson tied the game with his goal (2) with just under three minutes remaining in regulation.
The Devils are back on Friday against Pittsburgh.
Hell Raisers
1) What an ugly game and one that wasn't exactly fun to watch.
After nine days without Devils hockey,this was not exactly what I was hoping to see,although I'll take the two points!
Often times when two bad teams play each other,you can have a fun game to watch-not this time.
2) I've always loved Mr.Devil-Ken Daneyko,but he's either being a homer or deluding himself as he talks about a playoff run.
The Devils are 13 points out of the final playoff spot after tonight's win and despite wanting I just don't see it.
If they have even a prayer of this,the Devils need a ten point sweep of this five game homestand.
Anything short is just that-short...
3) I'm not just saying this because he scored the only regulation goal,but Adam Larsson looks so much more confident and mature in his play since the firing of Peter DeBoer.
It's amazing how that happens when you are not constantly looking over your shoulder...
4) Cory Schneider was strong in net with 29 saves and I thought he was the Devil that performed best.
Schneider and Toronto's Jonathan Bernier gave each team a chance to win,which is all you can ask.
5) I missed overtime and the shootout as the 7;30 start and a slow moving game forced me off to work before the end.
It is nice to see some shootouts that aren't the automatic loss of days past and it is nice that Jacob Josefson does so well in these.
Usually the likable Swede's shot is like a magnet to the goalie's pads in regulation,but he shows much more skill in the shootout....
