After a Milton-imposed delay, it’s finally game 2.
The Canes looked out of sorts in the opener against Tampa. Only Staal’s line looked like they had any idea of how to hockey on a consistent basis. And the PK was gashed for 2 goals, the first within the first 12 seconds, the 2nd in 6 seconds on a goal that Andersen should have stopped. In the practices since, the lines remained as they were during the game, so we’ll see if that holds. Kochetkov was in the starter’s crease yesterday, we‘ll see what happens at the morning skate.
Unlike the Canes, the Devils have already played 5 games, including the season opener in Prague. They’re 4-1, losing only to the Leafs so far. They shut out Utah last night. Newcomer Paul Cotter leads with 4 goals, old friend Stefan Noesen leads with 6 points, his 4 assists tie him with Erik Haula for the team lead. Our other old friend, Brett Pesce is on IR. Jake Allen played in goal last night, so we’ll see Jacob Markstrom tonight.
