Game 3: Banner Raised: Devils & Leafs Tie 2-2

    The New Jersey Devils raised their 2003 Stanley Cup Championship banner in front of a sellout crowd before their 2003-2004 season home opener on Thursday, October 16, 2003.   The game against the Toronto Maple Leafs nearly ended with a Toronto victory, but Sergei Brylin's heroics with 2 seconds left in the third period, forced overtime.

    Here are a few of my pictures from the game.

    Jay Pandolfo got the Devils on the board with his first goal of the season, just 4:48 into the first period.   Brian Rafalski recorded the only assist on the goal.

    The first period ended with the Devils leading the Maple Leafs, 1-0.   The Devils outshot the Leafs 15-3 in the period.

    Nik Antropov tied the game by beating Brodeur at 10:40 of the second period.   6:06 later, Darcy Tucker gave the Leafs their first lead of the game.
