Due to issues beyond my control, I am recapping last night’s game this evening. I apologize for the belatedness. But it needs to be written that the New Jersey Devils played a far better game against a playoff-bound St. Louis Blues team than they did against fellow bottom-feeders Detroit. Twenty-four hours after a performance that can be best described as tank-alicious, the Devils put in a far more competitive and watchable effort against the Blues. The Devils did not win. They lost 2-3 in overtime with three seconds left in the fourth period.
