Tough Conference Game: Ottawa Senators vs. New Jersey Devils

A few weird bounces in the past few games, but the goals register in the stats the same way a beautiful deke, and slapshot do. Pikkarainen tallied his first NHL goal against Montreal. The devils won that game 2-1.

Against the Sens, Bryce Salvador was able to tally a 65 footer as the puck bounced up over Elliot. The devils finished 4-2. They played strong and aggressive. The devils forcheck kept the pressure on Ottawa. It was also nice to see the devils power play work well. The powerplay was struggling for awhile resulting in very few shots let alone goals. They were between 2-4 goals in their last 20 something. Keep an eye out for tonight and the next few games, their powerplay will produce. For some reason we tend to see this team have streaks.

It showed a lot to come back so strongly against Ottawa who have some guys that can win a game on their own. I still love to see the pressure that our defense has this year. The devils D keep racking up the assists. Its nice to see that this team plays with pressure. In the past we all know and see this team back down after going up a goal.

Lemaire keeps this team focused. The devils will win their division and possible even the entire east. How about shooting for the presidents cup?!?!?
