Give the Devils credit, they not only went into a tough arena and got the win, but they did so after falling into a 2-0 hole. In fact, they were down by 2, being completely dominated in their own zone and took a penalty but found a way to kill it off.
Petr Sykora then got the Devils within 1 by scoring what’s becoming his kind of goal, ripping a wrist shot past the goalie.
Carter then got his first on a feed from Salvador. That score held up until the shootout where goals by Parise and Clarkson got the Devils the extra point.
DeBoer really believes in Clarkson but better than that, has NJ really believing in themselves when they find themselves in a hole. Lou did the right thing hiring this guy! Devils head to Boston to take on the champs Tuesday night.
