First Period: The New Jersey Devils got started early on when Mirco Mueller was tripped. The Devils went on the power play, and it was a successful one. Damon Severson, on the power play again after being taken off before the game versus the Stars, got a feed from Marcus Johansson that he did a great job at finishing. It was a great pass from Johansson and a great shot by Severson. Miles Wood got the secondary assist on the goal.
The Devils took their first penalty of the game almost halfway through the period.
