EDMONTON, AB - The New Jersey Devils have swept their way through Alberta, Canada. After a victory in Calgary on Monday night, the Devils did the same to the Flames rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, with a 2-1 victory on Tueday night.
It might be overstating it, though, and more than a little, to say they were hard done by with a 4-2 loss to the Flames. The Islanders were loose with the puck, got more sloppy as the game went on and far worse in their own zone than two days prior.
