Devils defeats Bruins

As the New Jersey Devils take a win against the Boston Bruins, the B's take their second loss in as many games. The Devils are now finding their way to the top of the Atlantic Division, while the Bruins are trying to find their way to the playoffs. With a final score of 3-2, Tim Thomas gets the loss, as he was the starting goaltender for the B's, but was taken out after the first period in the place of Tuukka Rask.

Blake Wheeler scored a goal for the third consecutive game in a row. Patrice Bergeron, who has been playing extremely well in the absence of Marc Savard, scored the other goal.

Tim Thomas didn't make it out for the socond period, making it the fifth time he has been pulled this year. Bruins coach Claude Julien said "We didn't help him. We talked it over at the end of the period and decided it was the right thing to do. It changed the momentum, and gave the team a bit of a wake-up call."

Yes I agree, it gave the team a wake up call, but it wasn't enough to pull off a needed win. Every game from now to the end of the regular season is a very important one. If the Boston Bruins plan to be in the playoffs, they need to be able to step up their game, pull some pressure off their goalies, and hope to God that they win the game.

The next game is Tuesay night against the Carolina Hurricanes, the last away game on this road trip. Game time is 7:00 PM on Nesn, with coverage starting at 6:30.
