Cam Janssen-Offensive Juggernaut?

The New Jersey Devils defended their home turf on Sunday night with a dominating 5-0 win over the Nashville Predators at the Rock.
Martin Brodeur turned aside just 15 Nashville shots in adding another shutout to his career record in notching the win.
Devils goals scored by Jaromir Jagr (5),Cam Janssen (2),Travis Zajac (2),Marek Zidlicky (2 power play) and Mattias Tedenby (1).
The Devils return to the ice Tuesday at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers.

Hell Raisers

1) Cam Janssen with a stat that is surprising to any hockey fan.
3 games,2 goals 0 fights.
Enjoy that ride while you can!!

2)  Jaromir Jagr went over 1,700 points for his career with his goal and assist on the evening.
Jagr is 7th all time in point scored and would be higher if he had not played a few years in Russia's KHL.

3) What I really liked about this game was the Devils finishing plays at the net and not overpassing.
The Travis Zajac goal was an example-one sharp pass and fire,I am hoping to see that trend continue.
Dainius Zubrus to Jaromir Jagr to Zajac-fire.Sweetest goal of the night.

4) Mattias Tedenby has been a disappointment in his chances with the Devils mainly because he seems to use his speed to get nice opportunities to score and then whiff on them.
Very late in the game,Tedenby grabbed a loose puck,drove to the net and got his first goal of the season.
Tedenby's skills has always intrigued me and perhaps this meaningless goal in a blowout will jump start Tedenby a bit...

5) Dominant Devils defense as none of Nashville's shots against Martin Brodeur were especially difficult ones.A few were cold one on ones,but none were amazing or tough....

6) Easily the best total game played all season by the Devils.
Solid goaltending,nice defense and finishing strong  with the puck makes this an easy call to make!

Janssen jolts Flyers!

In what was very similar to the game last week at the Rock,the New Jersey Devils reversed to score under similar circumstances as the team scored on deflections by Adam Henrique (5) and Cam Janssen (I swear I'm not making that up) (1) and Jaromir Jagr added the kill shot (4 empty net) to lift the Devils to a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in Philly.
Martin Brodeur finished the game with 22 saves in earning the 122nd shutout of his career.
The Devils travel to Toronto tomorrow night at 7:30 and play against the Maple Leafs.

Hell Raisers

1) If this game is ever remembered at all (it likely shouldn't be) it will be due to the deflection goal by Cam Janssen.
Janssen had not scored a goal since he was a St.Louis Blue in 2011.
Janssen had been recalled from Albany and Rostislav Olesz was returned to Albany after the Devils last defeat.
I would wager goal scoring was not the reason for the callup!

2) From Scott Gilbert on Rachel's Devils fan page-Cam Janssen now has more goals for the season than Claude Giroux! HA HA

3) Martin Brodeur was flawless in goal,but wasn't exactly tested either.The Flyers looked like the Devils did in Newark.
Dull,tired and not a good effort for a Flyers team that looks to be cooked this season.

4) Eric Gelinas shot the puck that Adam Henrique deflected in and played well,but left the game in the third after taking a puck off the foot.
X Rays showed no breaks,but Gelinas left the arena on crutches,so look for Gelinas to miss the Toronto game at least.

5) Adam Henrique did get a goal on a deflection,but missed on a better opportunity by trying to pass rather than shoot and the pass was broken up.
Sometimes being unselfish can be selfish and trying to show that you are a team player can lose chances to score.
Henrique is not the only one to do that,just the one on this night...
