=== New Jersey Devils Team Report - December 1 === (My Sportsbook) - David Aebischer stopped 27 shots to help the Colorado Avalanche earn a 1-1 tie with the New Jersey Devils at the Pepsi Center. Martin Brodeur was equally impressive for the Devils, denying 25 shots. Erik Rasmussen scored the only goal of the game for New Jersey, which rebounded after having its 13-game unbeaten streak snapped on Friday in Dallas. Milan Hejduk scored for the Avalanche, who finished an impressive 9-3-2-1 in the month of November. Colorado came through the month with a total of 21 points despite playing 15 games in 30 days. Hejduk scored the game's first goal with 4:29 left in the second period when Alex Tanguay spotted the sniper streaking down the right side. Hejduk then re- directed the cross-ice pass over Brodeur's glove for his 14th goal of the season. New Jersey, though, did not trail for long, as it received an offensive contribution from an unlikely source. Rasmussen notched his first tally of the season when he powered the puck towards the net from the slot. The fluttering disc found its way through Aebischer just 1:13 after Hejduk's tally, evening the score at 1-1. New Jersey will host Phoenix on Tuesday. |
