HARTFORD, CT -- A pair of Albany Devils newcomers made a big impact in their preseason debuts. Artem Demkov registered a goal, a shootout goal and an assist and Dmitry Goldenkov netted the shootout winner in the Devils, 4-3, victory against the Hartford Wolf Pack Thursday at XL Center.
Reid Boucher produced a goal and a shootout tally and Darcy Zajac also scored in regulation.
Scott Wedgewood, who arrived in Albany Wednesday from New Jersey Devils camp, made 12 saves, not including three during the shootout. At the other end, Hartford's Jason Missiaen registered 37 stops, fighting off a Devils 18-0 shot advantage in the second period.
After falling behind 1-0 after Hartford's Tyler Gjurich opened the scoring 2:00 into the game, Boucher found the back of the net from Demkov and Joe Whitney at 1:00 of the second period.
