Devils Need To Find Their Game

from Mark Everson of the NY Post,
A team that bumped, ground and won has gone Fancy Dan, not dumping the puck regularly to make defenses retreat, the platform from which their game begins. They’re carrying, lugging, and losing, and foes don’t have to go 200-feet to attack.
“The players know what it is, and it well get resolved. They will have to be the ones to dig in and respond,” Sutter said, without declaring the team’s specific failure.
Comeback kids, the Devils aren’t. They have lost every game when they’ve trailed by two, an imperfect season-long streak of 13, unable to put even one past Kari Lehtonen, who notched his first shutout of the season.
