9:40 PM ET: Aaaaand that’ll be the end of it! Devils win, 7-3! Oduya with a goal and THREE assists, Parise and Elias with two goals a pop (Elias also tallied an assist), and Zajac with three assists. A great game all around, I’d say. That’ll wrap it up for us tonight! Goodnight!

9:38 PM ET: Silly Clarkson with another wrap-around attempt. Unsuccessful, but cute how often he tries.

9:36 PM ET: Devils power play is up and we’re back to full strength. Lotsa dump-and-chase now. I’m a-ok with it though!

9:34 PM ET: Knuble and Vendermeer for Philly, Pelley for the Devils, all for roughing. There ya go. Very quiet in Philly tonight. I like it.

9:33 PM ET: Welp the Devils are apparently on a power play, though I have no idea who went for what in the last scrum.

9:30 PM ET: Marty with the stop and another scrum behind the net with Colin White in the middle of it for the Red and Black. More penalties likely a-comin’.

9:25 PM ET: Clarkson and Zubrus are in the box for the Devils (elbowing and roughing, respectively), Downie in for the Flyers for roughing and it’s a Flyers PP. Which makes little sense, but whatever. Let’s just get out of here without Philly mugging someone, eh?

9:22 PM ET: Rachunek takes a nasty header into the boards and a big scrum ensues. Penalties a-comin’.

9:20 PM ET: We haven’t scored a goal in like, 10 minutes. Makes me sad.

9:13 PM ET: Asham with a shot off the crossbar!

9:12 PM ET: Clarkson with a 2-on-1 with Elias, stopped by Biron. That would have bothered me if we weren’t up by four goals.

9:07 PM ET: ELIAS! 7-3 DEVILS! Clarkson with a big blast and Elias with a bad angle shot that makes it’s way in! Man this game rules.

9:05 PM ET: Langenbrunner to Zajac to Parise and it’s 6-3 Devils! Pretty passing play all around less than a minute into the third period.

9:04 PM ET: Third period underway!

8:47 PM ET: And that’s the end of two. Not a bad game so far. Hate to give up three goals in two periods but at least we’re putting them in the net as well. Be back for the third shortly!

8:46 PM ET: Randy Jones with a shot from the top of the right circle that sneaks in over Marty’s shoulder and it’s 5-3 with less than ten seconds left in the second. Drats.

8:44 PM ET: Vishnevski takes a penalty against Briere on a kinda-but-not-really sort of penalty. But I’m happy right now so I won’t whine. Devils PK gets some time in.

8:42 PM ET: Couple of nice chances in front of Biron and some scrummy stuff at the end. Biron with a couple of nice stops, his first against the Devils all year (I KID, I KID!)

8:39 PM ET: Gagne takes a dumb penalty and the Devils are BACK to the power play yet again!

8:37 PM ET: Parise stuffs home a Travis Zajac rebound for the goal and it’s 5-2 Devils! Devils chase Nittymaki and Martin Biron hits the pipes for Philly. FIFTH power play goal of the evening. And guess who gets the assists? Well that would be Zajac and…JOHNNY ODUYA!

8:34 PM ET: Johnny Oduya is having such a great game that his mere presence is making the other team make his former mistakes. Smith with the Oduya Special - puck over the glass delay of game - and the Devils had back yet again to the power play.

8:33 PM ET: The penalty to Dowd is up, and for the first time tonight, the Devils don’t connect on the power play. Lazy jerks.

8:28 PM ET: Another slash against the Flyers and the power play gets back to work. I’m literally quaking with excitement at the prospect. Jersey Jim Dowd, who could have been a PR Guy for the Devils but chose to play in Philly, is the culprit.

8:27 PM ET: JOHNNY ODUYA IS ON FIRE! Oduya carries it ALL THE WAY from goal line to goal line, sends a neat backhand pass to Patty Elias in the slot and Elias tips it home, 4-2 Devils! 4-for-4 on the power play, and Oduya now with a three point night!

8:25 PM ET: Upshall tot he box for slashing and the suddenly red-hot Devils power play gets another chance on ice.

8:21 PM ET: Penalty kill and the Devils with a couple of good shots on Niittymaki but nothing doing. The game’s gotten a little slower, which might be a good thing.

8:16 PM ET: Mike Rupp trips up Cote and the Devils head the penalty kill again.

8:13 PM ET: Clarkson is back, for those wondering.

8:12 PM ET: And all penalty time is up.

8:11 PM ET: And we’re back! Devils successfully kill the, ahem, 2 Man Advantage, and now it’s a traditional man advantage for Philly.

7:52 PM ET: End of period with a score of 3-2 Devils. Philly will be on about 10 seconds of 5-on-3 to start the second. See y’all in 17.

7:49 PM ET: Rachunek with a big hit on Gagne in the corner, Gagne appears to hit his head on the glass. Doesn’t look to be intentional on Karel but he’s to the box for four minutes for boarding and roughing. It wasn’t cheap but oh well. Knuble also goes to the box for roughing post-play. 5-on-3 for Philly.

7:48 PM ET: Vishnevski to the box for cross-checking, Flyers to the PP.

7:46 PM ET: ZUBRUS! Devils power play is 3-for-3! Elias and Gionta with the assists and it’s 3-2 New Jersey!

7:45 PM ET: Briere to the box for interference and the currently 2-for-2 Devils Power Play gets a shot to go three for three.

7:42 PM ET: ANOTHER FIGHT! Clarkson Vs. Downie. Starts out big by the Flyers bench. Downie gets a through shots in, a couple of big hits by Clarkson. Downie appears to claw at Clarkson’s face opening up a big gash near the eye. Fight ends with Clarkson letting go and Downie yapping. Typical Flyers cheap crap, it appears. Clarkson heads to the locker room for medical attention.

7:41 PM ET: Big scramble in front of Brodeur, but Marty’s up to the task.

7:39 PM ET: Johnny Oduya and Paul Martin with the assists on the Langenbrunner goal. The defensive is contributing offensively big time lately kids. This is a very good thing.

7:37 PM ET: FIGHT! Rupp Vs. Cote. Cote leads with his left and they tie up. A few shots for both but overall a very slow fight with not much connecting. Rupp gets the takedown punch/drag, but overall, I’d rule this one Edge: Cote.

7:35 PM ET: You know what always cures the Devils power play ailments? A game against the Flyers. Langenbrunner with the PP goal and it’s 2-2!

7:32 PM ET: Upshall tries to clothesline Mottau and gets two minutes in the bin for it. Devils to the PP.

7:31 PM ET: Things have slowed down some now. Which is why I’ve been quiet. I’ll be talkative when something happens though I swear!

7:22 PM ET: Here we go again with the high scoring Flyers games…2-1 Flyers, Mike Knuble slaps a shot past Marty that Marty probably could have had. Dammit.

7:19 PM ET: JOHNNY OFRIGGINDUYA!! A BLAST from the point and it’s a tie game! And we finally have a power play goal! Martin and Zajac with the assists.

7:16 PM ET: Some Flyer to the box, Devils on a power play. ‘Cause we’re dangerous on the power play, y’know.

7:14 PM ET: Briere gets the goal. Briere sucks. Dammit.

7:12 PM ET: Rupp to the box for a penalty. Ensuing faceoff sees a blast from the point and either Gange or Briere tips it in. Great. 1-0 Flyers.

7:10 PM ET: Elias fires one past Niittymaki and it rings off the post!

7:08 PM ET: Game on! Parise, Langs, and Zajac; Oduya and Martin to start.

6:57 PM ET: Devils hit Broad Street (no, not the Broad Street in Newark, the other one). Game upcoming!
