Oh, what a wild, weird, wonderful result for the New Jersey Devils. The wordy headline gives you the basic gist of this game. Let’s start from the beginning.
It was 0-3 after the first twenty minutes. The Toronto Maple Leafs, fresh off a 2-1 loss against Carolina last night, looked like they were in control. The New Jersey Devils looked like they were just about guaranteed to earn their fourth straight loss tonight. As do most teams look when there’s a three-goal differential in the first period.
What’s more is that it didn’t take all twenty minutes for Toronto to mount such a lead.
