The Devils and Stars skated to a seamless and fairly methodical first period that featured a total of 17 shots and no goals on the scoreboard. The New Jersey Devils are outshooting the Stars 9-8 in the period and both goaltenders, Johan Hedberg for the Devils and Kari Lehtonen for the Stars, haven’t had to stand on their head to make all 17 saves. Only Rod Pelley and Brian Rolston have more than one shot on net, they each have two.
Devils Vs. Stars: Goaltenders Keeping Game Scoreless In First Period
The Dallas Stars are hitting a lot more, which can be a flawed stat, outhitting the New Jersey Devils 14-5 in the first period. Brenden Morrow has three hits and leads the Stars in that category in the first period while nine players total have hits for the Stars in the game thus far. For the Devils, only Volchenkov has more than one hit and four players total have hits in the game.
One of these teams need to break the ice in scoring, where it happens though no one knows.
