Trenton Devils News Release
TRENTON, N.J. (November 21, 2008) - Steve Yetman broke a scoreless game with 5:25 left in regulation to give the Elmira Jackals a 1-0 win over the Trenton Devils Friday night. It was the second game in a row in which the Devils were shutout.
The game was fast paced, which each team getting scoring opportunities throughout the contest. The Devils were unable to capitalize on a two-man advantage midway through the first period as Jackals goaltender Mitch O'Keefe made several stops to quiet the Devils attack.
At the start of the second period, the Devils had a lengthy power play off a double minor by Brandon Scero, but again failed to score against the Jackals' fifth-ranked penalty kill.
The best opportunity came for Trenton in the third period, when Benoit Mondou raced in for a breakaway, only to be stopped by the right pad of O'Keefe. Not much later, Yetman went coast-to-coast and fired a wrist shot that dribbled past George Effinger and gave the Jackals the deciding goal.
Effinger made 27 saves in a losing cause, as he made key saves throughout the game for the Devils. O'Keefe stopped 38 Trenton shots to earn his first career shutout.
