Penguins Get Torched By Devils. Pay For Their Sins

The Penguins would've liked to have played Nee Jersey Devils with their best but, between injuries and fatigue, they had Schwab stepping up in this one. Here's the game recap;

In the 1st period, the Devils made it 1-0 at 5:04 when Desjardins scored his 6th of the season from Evans and Bondra. The Penguins answered at 16:04 as Reid scored his 3rd of the season from Podein. The teams entered the 2nd tied 1-2. 

In the 2nd period, the Devils made it 2-1 at 11:30 as Iafrate scored his 3rd of the season unassisted with a powerplay goal. That would be all the scoring and the Penguins entered the 3rd trailing 2-1. 

In the 3rd period, the Devils exploded on the Penguins and scored 4-straight goals to take a commanding 6-1 lead. Emerson scored twice, Boschman and Zezel were the goal scorers for the Devils. At 16:42, the Penguins made it 6-2 as Young scored his 23rd of the season with a powerplay goal from Zubov and Amonte. 

6-2 would be the final in this one as the Penguins look to rebound next against the Nordiques in Quebec.
