Both teams are up 2-1. Parise and Elias for the Devs, St. Louis for TB. Jagr and Roszival for the Rags, Eric Belanger for ATL.

Isles-Sabres scoreless so far.

So far, the Devils appear to be the dominant team whenever Lecavalier and St. Louis are off the ice, as I predicted. Impossible to judge based on one period, but both our scoring lines came ready to play and appear dominant at times (Particularly the Zajac line).

If the Devs stay out of the box, they will win this game. Oduya took 2 penalties to give Tampa the 5 on 3, which St. Louis cashed in on the 2nd one on an absolute scorcher. 2 somewhat weak goals for Holmqvist, he doesn’t look quite ready for this.

We shall see. Stay tuned and keep looking for updates here at BoNY.
