Sens out gunned Jersey. Ottawa typically has problems with a very patient Jersey team, but the Devils had some offense of their own this time around. Gerber wasn't great, but the puck stayed out of the net more times than for Brodeur. Parise looked pretty good in the loss, creating good scoring chances.
With 5% of the season gone for the Sens, things are steady. Paddock is loading the team on Alfredsson's back, and he's carried them. Part of that is due to McAmmond still out with a concussion, and Alfie having to play the PK (along with SC1 and PP1). Every player has continued last year's receipe for success. Heater is still a sniper extraordinare. Neil and Fisher hit people. Volchenkov blocks shots. Defense is solid. Spezza still makes high risk plays.
Vermette has elevated his game. He's still the steady PK guy, but has created a lot of offense with his speed and isn't showing any reluctance to shoot the puck. If this keeps up, his numbers will be big this year.
