Preseason Win, White is OK, the Rangers on TV Tonight
First, a correction: last night's preseason game against the Boston Bruins took place in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Second, the Devils won that game 3-0. No boxscore available; but a summary of the game via NHL.com (who got it from the AP) can be read here. Congratulations to Rod Pelley, Karel Rachunek, and Barry Tallackson for scoring goals, and congratulations to Kevin Weekes and Frank Doyle for splitting time in the shutout effort. I have no idea why this game doesn't have a box score or an official score sheet at NHL.com. It's the only game from yesterday that only has a summary recap. I would have loved to hear how certain players performed; you can't go much beyond a score and a brief summary of who scored. I guess the Devils did well?
Third, Tom Gulitti at Fire & Ice is reporting that Colin White's right eye was not damaged - he just sustained a severe cut. White will be out 10-14 days, so he may play in the Devils opening game at Tampa Bay or he may not. This is very fortunate considering White got hit in the face with a shot.
Fourth, a Devils preseason game will be on television tonight. MSG is airing the Devils-Rangers preseason game at 7 PM tonight. So if you want to see them in action, you can. Considering the Devils' attempts at marketing, it would have been nice if they could get coverage for all the preseason games. A way for us to follow the team rather than rely on reports after the game or from others who were at the game. I'll delve deeper on this topic sometime in the near future.
