Missed the first thanks to the NHL Pens game. 0-0 after 1. Announcers are now talking about Lagace and his shut out. Announcer mistakenly saying the NHL Pens clinched first. After I typed and posted that, he corrected himself. Are you reading this Mr. Announcer?
start 2
Reilly apparently hurt.
Schaller, who wears 59, looked like Guentzel there juking through the Devils and then backhanding a shot off the post.
Lizotte doing some juking of his own. Please sign him to a two-way deal.
Damn, Gruden may be hurt as well.
Looks like they already swapped Schaller and Bjork on the lines.
Schilkey takes a rare penalty.
BING barely missed a goal on their PP. 4 seconds left. Penalty killed. And Schilkey out of the box sets up DOC on a 2-on-1 but DOC pushed it wide. The puck stays in the zone, there's a rebound and Gruden finds Schilkey on a nifty pass for an empty net goal. 1-0.
Looked like Bellerive was going to get lit up, but he knew it was coming and stood strong.
WBS take another penalty. Lizotte for hooking or slashing, I think. Penalty killed.
Bjorkqvist so strong that his poke checks send players flying.
There was a 3-on-2 for the Pens with POJ leading the charge with Gruden and Lizotte as the options. Gruden drove the net and Lizotte got off a decent shot. No goal though.
Nappier looking pretty decent.
Bjork back with DOC. DOC with a nice set up to Bjork but his shot was blocked by an ankle and goes wide.
Drozg draws a penalty. Angello barely missed within the first few seconds of the PP. POJ set up DOC for a deflection but that also misses. POJ with another shot but that also missed. Then Currie gets a real good chance, set up by Bellerive, almost in the slot but the BING goalie stops it. Penalty killed.
Fourth line had a good shift after that PP.
end of the 2nd
start 3
Bellerive threw a shot to the net while Gruden was providing a screen. Devils didn't like that and went after Gruden. Then they got into a nice fight.
Gruden goes to the net again and is tripped. He actually goes into the net. Pens to the PP. Second unit capitalizes on a Bellerive and Almeida rebound. Schilkey got it. 2-0.
Bjork with a nice curl and drag, and then delay, and a quick snap shot after "looking" to pass it. Missed the net but it was a nice play.
Holy shit, what a shift by Angello. He just decided he was going to take the puck and score. Made everyone on the ice look like peewee players. 3-0.
Delay of game by BING. To the PP. Killed.
Damn. 2 minutes left and the Devils score. 3-1.
Devils pull their goalie and Gruden gets an empty net goal to complete the Gordie Howe Hat Trick. 4-1.
Pens win.
