After losing the first two against the Rangers at the Prudential Center, the Devils salvaged this years rivalry with A 1-0 statement win over Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers. Ilya Kovalchuk scored the lone Devils goal and the only one in the game. Johan Hedberg made 16 saves in the blanking while Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves on 28 shots.
Kovalchuk's goal is his 21st of the season as he continues his consecutive games point streak. Tonight, the Devils visit the 8th seed Hurricanes to wrap up their 3 games in 12 days showdown and also their season series. The Hurricanes defeated the Flyers 3-2 yesterday. Anton Volchenkov returned from his 3 game suspension yesterday and Adam Mair returned to the line-up while Tim Sestito was sent back to Albany.
