Here's Russkys expert view of 2nd period,,, Good solid period for Devils, Nottingham started period better and the Devils looked abit off the pace. Devils got back into period with a good penalty kill. Mark Louis is playing so well.. Devils in cruise control. Pacl is keeping the Panthers in this game. The Devils need to find a way past him again to kill the game off.
