TRENTON, N.J. (December 30, 2008) -- Gerald Coleman had a successful return from injury with 17 saves and the Trenton Devils scored two on the power play to defeat the Elmira Jackals, 4-1, at Sovereign Bank Arena Tuesday night.

The Devils struck first as Jeff Prough won the faceoff and passed it to Rob Page, who sent the puck to Matt Radoslovich at the half-wall. Radoslovich flicked in a shot that squirmed past David Shantz at 5:45, his fourth goal of the season.

Dylan Quaile would get his second tally of the season after starting an odd-man rush into the Elmira zone. Quaile backhanded a shot from the right side of the net and picked up in own rebound, wrapping it around the net and off of Shantz for the goal.

The Jackals would get on the board at the 12:58 mark as Benoit Doucet fired a wrist shot from the slot over the right shoulder of Gerald Coleman.

In the second period, the Devils scored a late power play goal as Brad Snetsinger took a long pass from Ryan Gunderson and streaked past the Elmira defense into the zone and sneaked in a shot past Shantz from the slot for his second goal of the season at 19:37.

The Devils completed the scoring as Tony Zancanaro deflected in a Dave Leaderer slap shot from the blue line on the power play with 4:20 left in the game. The Devils finished the game by going 2-for-9 on the man advantage.

Coleman made 17 saves in his return from the injured reserve, and earned his first win at home for the Devils. The Devils outshot the Jackals, 28-18. The 18 shots are the least given up by the Devils this season.

The Devils close out 2008 on the road Wednesday night against the Johnstown Chiefs, with the faceoff scheduled for 6:05 p.m. Fans can listen to the free audio broadcast on www.trentondevils.com, courtesy of B2 Networks.
