ELMIRA, N.Y., (April 15, 2009) -- The Trenton Devils suffered their worst defeat in over a year at the hands of the Elmira Jackals, 5-0, in Game 3 of the North Division Semifinals Wednesday night. The Jackals now lead the best-of-seven series, two games to one.
The Devils' last five-goal loss came to the Johnstown Chiefs on March 30, 2008, also a 5-0 defeat.
For the third game in a row, a Jackals defenseman was the game's first goal scorer. Brandon Roach ripped a slap shot through a screen on the power play with 1:37 left in the first period.
The Jackals carried the momentum into the second period, as they scored twice in 14 seconds on tallies by Brendan Connolly and Pierre-Luc Faubert. The Devils started to create more opportunities late in the period, which included Jeff Prough being robbed of a goal from point-blank range by the glove of Michael Teslak.
The third period was more of the same, as the Jackals scored two more on a Steve Yetman shorthanded goal and Faubert's second of the night. Teslak picked up the shutout by making 32 saves in the win.
