New Jersey came out of the gates flat against Blue Jackets. In the first period NJ was outshot 14-4 and displayed little competence in their #4 ranked power play in the league. In his first game back, Patrik Elias has logged 5:12 of ice time and made an appearance on the second PP unit. The Devils start the second period with an extended power play and will look to capitalize on it.

Disappointing loss for the Devils who didn't play well enough to deserve points tonight. Credit to the Flames who were solid defensively most of the game , which made it difficult for the Devils to connect on passes or convert on scoring chances. Schneider played just ok, which is far bellow his standards which didn't help the Devils efforts as well. A bright spot in this dim loss comes again on the Devils power play which was ranked 8th in the NHL heading into tonight and clinched another PP goal off of Tootoo's stick in the second period. The Devils next game is this Friday in Edmonton to face off against the Oilers.

Devils scored two goals in the second period but the Flames answered with one of their own to stay ahead 3-2. New Jersey will need to win the third period in order to get a point tonight.

Jordin Tootoo notches his second goal of the year and second goal for the Devils tonight. Tootoo's goal was assisted by Stempniak and Cammalleri. Devils now trail the Flames 3-2 half way through the second period.

Bobby Farnham scores his third goal of the year and first for the Devils tonight. Gionta and O'neill credited with the assists.

The eye test would show the Devils leading but that's not the case. Matt Stajan and TJ Brodie have both netted goals for Calgary to put the Devils in a 2-0 hole.

New Jersey continues tonights impressive performance. Mike Cammalleri nets his 4th goal of the season on an impressive tic tac, passing play. The Blackhawks scored a late 2nd period goal and find themselves on the PP heading into the 3rd. It will be key for the Devils to kill this power play off to hold down Chicago for the rest of the night.

Cammalleri ends his goal drought. Palmieri and Severson are credited with the assists.

New Jersey came out swinging against the Blackhawks tonight. Stempniak, Palmieri, and Zajac have all notched goals. Toews who captains Chicago tried to spark his team by fighting Henrique after Palmieri's goal, but the Devils answered back quick with a another goal.

It was a tough loss for NJ who seemed to have stolen a point from a third period Zajac goal. However, Casey Cizikas had different plans and with less than 3 minutes left in the third period he scored a go ahead goal to secure the Islanders a win. Zajac notched his 5th goal of the season and Gelinas was credited the apple for his 3rd point of the year. One bright spot of the game was the continued strong play of Kyle Palmieri on the Devils power play. The Jersey native leads the team with 6 power play points (2g-4a) and has 5 pts (2g-3a) in the last four games. The Devils will look to regroup against the Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks this Friday at the Rock.
