Today's photo is from where I sat -- section 109, row 7, seat 14 at Newark's Prudential Center for a Penguins-Devils matchup. The Pens took a quick 2-0 lead on goals 20 seconds apart in the first period. Sidney Crosby scored the second with a nifty top-shelf wrist shot. The Devils cut it to 2-1before the end of the first 20 minutes, and the teams played a scoreless second period.
Pittsburgh got it to 3-1 in the third before the Devils got another back on a power play goal. Then, with about a minute remaining and trailing by a goal, the Devils pulled their goalie to get an extra skater during a faceoff in the Penguins' zone. With 30.1 seconds left on the clock, Jamie Langenbrunner skated around the net and stuffed one through Marc-Andre Fleury's pads. Then in overtime, Langenbrunner received a perfect pass from Zach Parise and had a clear shot into an open net with 1:00 remaining for the winner, his second OT clincher in as many nights.
