One of the last Eastern Conference teams in the New Jersey Devils was in town to kick off a very busy month of March schedule for the Colorado Avalanche. An at times entertaining game with offensive fireworks ensued but New Jersey ended up on top with a 7-5 victory.
The Game
After several quick starts in a row it was the opponent’s turn to get on the board early in the game. Ondrej Palat was the recipient of a pass in the slot along with loose coverage beat Avalanche netminder Justus Annunen getting his third career start just 67 seconds after puck drop and gave the Devils a lead.
