'We stopped skating': Devils scorch Red Wings with third-period outburst
Newark, N.J. — For 40 minutes the Red Wings were the better team Thursday and appeared headed for victory.
But, those final 20 minutes … well, Red Wings fans know too well how that usually turns out.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Alex Biega (3) slips as New Jersey Devils center Pavel Zacha (37) tries to get control of the puck wiht Devils left wing Miles Wood (44) defending Biega during the second period.This time, it was a bit uglier and more shocking than usual.
New Jersey scored four goals in a span of four minutes which carried the Devils to a 4-1 victory — the Wings' second consecutive loss to begin this four-game road trip with powerhouses Boston and Pittsburgh left this weekend.
