Devils Scoring Chance Summary for Game 6 vs the Pittsburgh Penguins

by C.J. Richey on Oct 25, 2011 1:01 PM EDT in Devils Scoring Chances

Even though the Devils lost decisively to the Penguins 4-1 they still managed to out chance the Pens 9-7 at even strength. The Devils PK was fairly successful, they did give up a goal but only allowed 5 chances in almost 7 minutes. They also had a chance and goal of their own. Overall it was a pretty bland game for the Devils. They managed to stay fairly even with Pittsburgh but couldn't convert on their chances like their opponents.

Looking at the numbers Kovalchuk is really the only one that stands out. He didn't have any scoring chances but set up 3 and finished at +4 at ES. Elias and Zubrus managed two chances a piece. Cam Janssen somehow ended up +2. I'd also like to point out the fact that Jordan Staal was involved in 8 of Pittsburgh's 12 chances. That is pretty impressive.

None of the defensemen really stood out this game. Larsson and Tallinder both managed a chance on goal. Mark Fayne led among the defense at +2.

This is very interesting. I believe that in the only other regulation loss (against the Flyers), the Devils were severely outchanced at even strength.

It’ll be very interesting to see over the course of the season what the Devils record is in games where they outchance the other team, and what their record is when they get outchanced.

I didn’t feel that badly about this game until the third goal (by Staal), and felt they didn’t play terrible until the third period, and these numbers confirm that.

As usual, good work.

I’m actually surprised it was that close at even strength overall; particularly in the third period. I thought the Penguins beat them over and over. I guess it wasn’t as bad as I saw it; though a 1-3 third period will make a Devils fan like myself feel that way. That the Penguins had their second period chances as time went on. I guess it was a partial sign of things to come in the third?

I’m not surprised that Kovalchuk had that many chance assists; just that only one of them went to Palmieri among his 5 SOGs.

Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!
