New Jersey Devils at Montreal Canadiens

It was nice to get a win under our belts and maybe turn the tide on the season. It would be really nice to start lighting up the lamp and not have to rely on goaltending to win a game. Currently we stand 26th overall in the league with 2.00 GF per game. We are usually in the top 10 in this area the past few seasons. We are ranked 9th with a 2.25 GAA so we have been keeping it close.

The New Jersey Devils come into the game with a 4-2-0 record good for 2nd in the Metropolitan. Some key players for the Devils and it starts with 32 year old RD Travis Malcolm. His numbers so far this season are not staggering with just 2 assists in 6 games, but defensive defenseman put up 8 goals and 44 points last year and can be a physical presence with his 102 PIMs. He has 89 career points in 153 games but his game is defense. RW Horst Navrkal he going to be around the net and has 3 goals and 5 points in 6 games. The 31 year old had his best season last year when he tallied 37 times and had 62 points. His vision makes him a great playmaker. LD Lukas Sury has a balance of offense and defense. The 32 year old Czech has just 2 assists to his name this year, but he put up 33 points last year including 11 goals in 72 games split between the Devils and the Senators before being traded. A solid playmaking defenseman.

Montreal will be without Ronnie Marvin on the 3rd line, RW Deric Dufour will take his place tonight. Dufour is still looking for his 1st point this year. Blackshear will go for the Habs, he has a .903 save % this year while the Devils will have Jeremy Hollowell in net. He has a .904 save % in 4 games.

Montreal 4 New Jersey 1

It was all New Jersey to start the game, Montreal never recorded a shot until nearly 9 minutes into the game. The 1st period remained scoreless and the Devils outshot the Habs 13 to 5. New Jersey was 0 for 3 on the PP, Montreal 0 for 2.

Montreal opens the scoring at the 11:55 mark of the 2nd, RW Al Ladd gets his 2nd of the season and the Habs are up 1-0. Montreal makes it 2-0 on Dave Wright's 3rd of the year just past the 13 minute mark. The Canadiens keep the pressure on and momentum and add a 3rd goal, LW Lorenzo Bocci with his 6th at 16:58. At the end of 2, Montreal leads 3-0.

New Jersey seems to gain the momentum back in the 3rd but LW Tom Gaskell breaks their hearts with his 1st of the season just before the mid point of the period. The Devils do break Blackshear's shut out bid with just under 8 minutes left in the game. Its now 4-1. Montreal hangs on to win.

Montreal's RW Al Ladd is named the 1st star, he had a goal and an assist and now has 2 goals and 8 points on the season.
