Game Recap

Tonight the New Jersey Devils go back on the road to take on the Boston Bruins. The Devils are still winless on the season and are hoping to turn their early misfortunes around and finally get in the win column. Unfortunately for the Devils, they’re still not getting the starts that they’re hoping for. Boston struck twice in the first as they got goals from Brad Marchand and Joakim Nordstrom. After the first period, the Bruins would take a 2-0 lead and start the second period with a power play on a late interference penalty called against the Devils.

The Devils started the second period on the Penalty Kill and were fortunate to kill the penalty off. However, it wasn’t enough as the Bruins towards the end of the period would cash in on the Power Play. Patrice Bergeron went to the front of the net and put the loose puck in the back of the net. Boston would take a 3-0 lead over New Jersey going into the third period.

Unfortunately for the Devils, they could still not get anything going offensively in the third period. The Bruins played shutdown hockey and kept the Devils from generating any sort of offense. Tukka Rask would make 31 saves as he and the Bruins would shutout the Devils by a final score of 3-0.
