First Period: The first minute of the game didn’t involve much drama, aside from a puck that Cory Schneider steered aside and made the Devils defense scramble a bit. The Devils iced the puck twice afterwards. Schneider made his first stop of the game two minutes and 10 seconds in. Martin Jones made his first stop three minutes and 10 seconds in on a long Travis Zajac wrist shot that may have been an attempt at creating a tip for Michael Grabner.
Cory Schneider made the first big stop of the game with a pad save nearly five minutes into the game, when John Moore blocked a pass to Joe Pavelski, but nearly hit it into the net.
