February 27, 2004 Game 63: Thrashers Beat Devils 3-2
The New Jersey Devils lost at home to the Atlanta Thrashers, 3-2
on Friday, February 27, 2004.
Here are a few of my
pictures from the game.
There was no scoring in the first period, the Thrashers outshot
New Jersey 7-5.
Garnet Exelby got his first goal of the season unassisted at 7:50
of the second period to give Atlanta a 1-0 lead. 30 seconds later, Brian
Gionta beat Pasi Nurminen to tie the game. Patrik Elias got the only
assist on Gionta's 18th goal of the season.
Patrik Stefan regained the lead for Atlanta at 9:40, only to have
Patrik Elias tie the game again, just 24 seconds later. Scott Gomez got
the only assist on Elias' 28th goal of the season.
Grant Marshall was ejected with 5:19 remaining in the second
period. The penalties would have forced the Devils to kill 7:00 of
penalty time, however Atlanta took three minor penalties during the
kill.
The second period ended with the game tied, 2-2. Atlanta
outshot New Jersey 8-7 in the period.
Dany Heatly gave Atlanta the lead again at 14:11 of the third
period, beating Brodeur on the power-play.
With 5:09 remaining in regulation time, Atlanta opened one of the
doors to their bench, and Scott Gomez was checked through it. When he
got up, Atlanta was less than hospitable - and a fight ensued, with Gomez still
behind the Atlanta bench. Jeff Cowan was tossed from the game for his
part in the scuffle.
The game ended with Atlanta winning, 3-2. The Thrashers
outshot the Devils 8-5 in the third period, and 23-17 in the game.
The Devils lead of the season series drops to 2-1. The
teams will meet once more (on March 26) in the 2003-2004 regular season.
The game was the 1,000th NHL game coached by Pat Burns. He
is only the 11th coach to ever reach that milestone. Burns was honored
with a brief ceremony before the start of the game.
The game was also a milestone for Sergei Brylin, who played in
his 500th game.
The game was the last of a 3-game homestand. The team now
has a 5-game road trip ahead of them, first heading north of the border
(Toronto & Montreal), then to the Southeast (Florida, Tampa Bay, and Carolina)
before returning home for a game on the trade deadline, March 9.
