Looks like the Devils have learned from their recent mistakes and decided to change tactics tonight..."Don't take a 2-0 lead".
And it worked.

In his 5th game after the trade Kovalchuk scores his first goal as a Devil and the team romps to a 5-2 victory.

But that still leaves the Devils with only 5 wins in the last 16 games (since that famous 1-0 shootout win in the 'double-shutout' against the Rangers in mid-January).

Maybe Kovalchuk's teammates won't be scared to play alongside him any longer.
