As it's a later-than-usual recap, I'm going to keep this somewhat short. It also helps that that New Jersey Devils decided to put in a performance that made it easy to sum up. In three simple words: Not good enough. The Colorado Avalanche looked strong early on. They didn't really fade away. They kept the Devils more than honest on offense with a lead. They filled in shooting lanes well, adding to New Jersey's frustration on offense. They punished the Devils for their errors with not one, not two, but three goals all created from turnovers by New Jersey.
