April 17, 2002 Hurricanes defeat Depleted Devils, 2-1
The New Jersey Devils were defeated by the Hurricanes in
Raleigh, North Carolina, 2-1 on Wednesday, April 17, 2002.
Christian Berglund had a nice breakaway just 3:27 into the
first period, but was unable to put the puck past Arturs Irbe.
Berglund took a stupid holding the stick penalty at 6:53 of
the first period. Rod Brind'Amour scored on that power-play at 8:21
to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead.
Erik Cole increased the Canes lead to 2-0 just 1:22 later, at
9:43. Cole's shot was accidentally redirected by Tommy Albelin past
Martin Brodeur.
The first period ended with the Hurricanes leading the Devils,
2-0. The Devils outshot the Hurricanes 14-6, but won only 5 of 17
faceoffs in the period.
The second period ended with the Hurricanes still leading the
Devils, 2-0. The Devils outshot the Hurricanes, 12-3 and won 9 of 22
faceoffs in the period.
Patrik Elias got the Devils on the board at 7:31 of the
third period on the power-play to cut the Hurricanes lead to 2-1.
Elias's 1st goal of the playoffs was assisted by Brian Rafalski and Scott
Niedermayer.
The Devils pulled Brodeur with 1:13 left in regulation, but
could not manage to beat Irbe before the clock ran down.
The game ended with the Hurricanes defeating the Devils by
a score of 2-1. The Devils outshot the Hurricanes 9-8 in the third
period and 35-17 in the game, but only won 35% of the faceoffs without
Nieuwendyk in the lineup. The Hurricanes out-hit the Devils 47-43
in the game.
Mike Commodore and Andrei Zyuzin were healthy scratches for
the Devils. Scott Gomez(hand), Petr Sykora(ankle), Stephane
Richer(foot), and Joe Nieuwendyk(stmoach virus) were also scratches.
The attendance at the game was 3,329 less than the arena's
capacity - and 108 less than their season average.
