Devils "Host" Flyers in Philadelphia During Game 2 Win
When rookie Matt Read of the the Flyers scored of a rebound just 2:53 into game 2, the skies were suddenly seeming to get more cloudy for the Devils. However, that would be no hint on the rest of the game. The Devils were relentless. Firing a total of 34 shots on net, they managed to outplay the Flyers in Philadelphia's very orange environment at The Wells Fargo Center. The Devils were surprisingly quiet on the scoreboard however, while Philly net-minder, Ilya Bryzgalov, was coming up big for the Flyers. The Devils finally found the net in the third, which only brought even more passion to their game. Because of Ilya Kovalchuk's injury, the Devils returned their 2011, 4th overall pick to the lineup, Adam Larsson. Larsson is a big-bodied 19 year old, weighing in at 200lbs and a towering 6'3" stature. Larsson came through scoring that first goal with a strong wrister. Him scoring it could not have been more ideal for the team. Next came Clarkson's goal to take the lead as he followed up on Zach Parise's rebound. The rest was history from there. Travis Zajac pocketed his 8th playoff point 9 playoff games this year, putting in the Devils's third goal. With around 3 minutes left on the game clock, New Jersey was up by two goals. In a desperate attempt, during the power play, the flyers pulled their goalie to create a 6-on-4 advantage. Bryce Salvador had not scored in two years. He finally scored with the empty net on Tuesday, but by no means was it an easy goal. He was trying to clear the puck out of the defensive zone from the right face-off circle by Brodeur. The clear was lobbed over the players, took a few bounces up-and-down, and found its place in the back of Philly's busy net! THE DEVILS HAD STUCK THE DAGGER IN THE ORANGE HEARTS ONCE AGAIN TO WIN 4-1! The two teams come to The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ for game 3 (Thursday) and game 4 (Sunday). Hopefully the Devils will be able to take complete control of the series by the time these games are through. GO DEVILS!
