ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS!9:59 PM ET: Game over! Devils win 3-2, and they sweep the road trip! First four game winning streak of the year, allowed only five goals across said four games. The team is also over .500 for the first time since game six on the season. Next up it’s the Dallas Stars at The Rock. Thanks for hanging here at 2 Man Advantage and goodnight!

9:58 PM ET: Lecavalier with one hell of a save on the empty net while stickless, blocking the Devils shot and kicking it away. That was pretty nuts!

9:57 PM ET: Lightning timeout. The shots for the game are 34-21 Lightning. Devils with one shot in this period. Ouch.

9:56 PM ET: Marty being very cool under pressure, as well as the D in general. Loads of pressure by the ‘Ning. This ain’t good for my heart.

9:55 PM ET: Lightning net is empty.

9:49 PM ET: Penalty killed, though WAY too close for comfort. Let’s wrap this game up kiddies, shall we?

9:48 PM ET: NO GOAL! Score remains 3-2 Devils. Lightning fans are PISSED. Heh.

Attaboy!9:46 PM ET: Lightning shot gets stopped by Marty but trickles behind. Mottau dives for it and knocks the net off it’s moorings. Ref calls goal but it’s under review. Replay seems to show no goal!

9:44 PM ET: Lightning buzzing like crazy but Marty with some solid stops. This will be a very important penalty to kill, to state the obvious.

9:43 PM ET: Parise to the box for a hook. Gulp.

9:41 PM ET: Vishnevski with a big thump on Richards. Have I mentioned I REALLY like Vish?

9:37 PM ET: Pando and Clarkson on a two-on-one rush, but this time Clarkson shanks it wide. Dang.

9:35 PM ET: Toooooo much pressure in the defensive zone…

9:33 PM ET: St. Louis totally took a swipe at Zubrus while Zubrus was on the ice after the whistle. Yeah, the Dainius-saur may have tackled him a little, but c’mon now. No call though on either end.

9:29 PM ET: Game’s settled down a touch. Couple of chances for the Lightning but nothing too dangerous.

9:23 PM ET: Jason Ward credited with the Lightning PP goal. Lame.

9:21 PM ET: Sonofa…Ward with a shot that Marty gets a piece of but not enough. Richards may or may not have tapped it in but it doesn’t matter. 3-2 Devils.

9:20 PM ET: We’re back and Clarkson is gone for an interference penalty very early in the period. Boo.

9:03 PM ET: Period over. That was a good’un. 3-1 Devils, second intermission is on.

9:01 PM ET: Penalty was killed but chances galore for the Lightning. Marty is being awesome though, so nothing doing there. I like it when Marty is awesome. It’s…well…awesome.

8:56 PM ET: Clarkson to the box where he will feel shame, y’know. Two minutes, hooking. Devils on the PK.

The results are in...8:53 PM ET: Marty with a beautiful diving shoulder stop on Darche. Hot damn that was a nice stop.

8:51 PM ET: And again! Madden and Clarkson on a 2-on-1, Madden waits just long enough to feed Clarkson, who taps it into the wide open net. 3-1 Devils.

8:49 PM ET: GIO! Zajac with a nice defensive play to give Gionta room to shoot and Brian pings it in off the post. 2-1 New Jersey.

8:48 PM ET: The defenseman formerly known as Rad Brad temporarily forgot he switched teams over the summer and nearly puts one on his own net. Amusing!

8:44 PM ET: Great chance by Langs gobbled up by Holmqvist. Save for the 5-on-3 goal, Johan’s been pretty damn good tonight. Again, this bugs me.

We don't see enough of these.8:36 PM ET: Gionta on the doorstep and he pops home the Parise pass and we’re tied at one, TWO MAN ADVANTAGE STYLE! Sweet. Devs still on the power play due to the Ranger delay of game.

8:35 PM ET: Paul Ranger with a beautiful chip shot on the puck, sending it into the crowd and giving the Devs a two man advantage.

8:33 PM ET: Devils on the powerplay again, Gratton in the box for high-sticking.

8:31 PM ET: And now Vish goes to the box. And a faceoff occurs in which…no Devil participated. They dropped the puck and Madden was hanging out outside the faceoff circle. What in the HELL is going on here now?!

8:28 PM ET: Alright hockey gods, that wasn’t funny. Clarkson gets drilled and his glove gets stuck in the photographer’s hole in the plexi. Clarkson being taken out of the play gives Lecavalier a chance the other way and he connects. 1-0 Lightning.

8:27 PM ET: Second period underways. Hopefully exciting things to happen?

8:09 PM ET: Late flurry by Tampa results in no puck meeting twine, so we go to the first intermission in a scoreless tie. You’ve got seventeen minutes, use them wisely.

8:06 PM ET: Sorry for the delay there, gang. I’m still alive. Score is still 0-0 so we can’t have missed much, eh?

BOO.7:56 PM ET: When I said the ‘Ning had more offensive chances, I meant of the not-actually-putting-the-puck-on-net offensive variety, Devils still lead in the shot totals by way of 9-1.

7:53 PM ET: Aaaaand power play time is over. I think the ‘Ning had more offensive chances on the kill than the Devs did on that power play.

7:52 PM ET: Gio isn’t bleeding so it’s a regular two minute minor. Way to be a team player there Gio. Thanks.

7:51 PM ET: High-sticking call on Tampa, refs checking Gio for blood. C’mon Gio, bleed!

7:48 PM ET: Shots are 5-1 Devs and it’s a touch more than five minutes in.

7:44 PM ET: Devils getting some good chances, but Holmqvist is looking stellar. Stop it, Holmqvist. Just stop.

7:40 PM ET: Oh dear. I heard rumors of the power play waking up the last two games, but I’m not seeing it here…penalty time up.

7:39 PM ET: Penalty Tampa, Devils on the PP. That was quick.

7:30 PM ET: Game starting soon. Elias still out with the flu, line-up unchanged from last night’s game in Atlanta. Live-cap madness to ensue!
