NHL: NJ Devils vs Colorado Avalanche 11/30/11 9:30PM ET
The New Jersey Devils are coming off a tough 3-2 loss against the Islanders to split their home-and-home series and even though that was four days ago, they’re still fuming about the way it went down.
After Ilya Kovalchuk was stripped of the puck by Michael Grabner for a shorthanded tally to give the Islanders a 3-2 lead in the third, Zach Parise appeared to tie the game with just two seconds left in regulation. However, the war room team in Toronto disallowed the goal.
"Based on my view of the replays, I wouldn't consider what I saw a distinct kicking motion, but I don't get to make those decisions,” New Jersey coach Pete DeBoer told reporters. “You live with it, and you move on."
The loss overshadows the fact that the Devils are playing much better lately. They have won four of their last six overall and were tied for ninth place in the Eastern Conference with the Caps heading into Tuesday night’s action.
Not bad considering Kovalchuk has just five goals. The Devils will come out flying after a few days off.
