My initial thoughts when the clock struck zero was "guts." The New Jersey Devils displayed a lot of them in taking the team with the best record into hockey, the Washington Capitals, into overtime. Especially with a 0-0 scoreline. The Devils escaped scares with the Capitals just not being able to get that rebound opportunity or open look past Scott Wedgewood. The penalty kill did its job despite moments where it seemed certain the Capitals would score. After two periods were the Devils' offense was in full "squeezing blood from a stone" mode, they managed to actually test Braden Holtby with eleven shots - keeping the game from being three straight periods of Washington Doing Things and the Devils Failing to Do Things.
