HELL OF A HANGOVER
Devils rally in 3rd to end Oiler streak at 11
Well all good things must come to an end, and considering the chilly temperatures outside Rexall Place today, perhaps it was a good day to stop streaking anyway. The New Jersey Devils turned in an impressive performance and handed the Oilers their first loss in 12 games. The Devils were solid in all aspects of the game and that ultimately allowed them to prevail over the Oilers. Mark Recchi, and Teemu Selanne didn't miss a beat with the substitution of Jan Bulis for Andrew Cassels, and recently aquired Andy McDonald and Alexander Korylyuk also scored for the Devils. Evgeny Nabokov was solid in the nets too turning aside 28 of 31 Oiler shots. Basically more Devil players were able to step up their games and outplay their corresponding Oiler player. Brian Leetch was the Oilers best player posting a goal and an assist but was only to even it up for +/-. Next up is a follow up game tommorrow against the same Devils.
