The Senators took a 3-2 win over the Devils Saturday and handed the Devils their third loss in four games. Sheldon Keefe: “We weren’t hard enough (in the second period). Puck battles. When we had the puck, we were just not good enough. Not hard enough with it. Turned it over and it cost us. Then not enough offense to recover from it.” [Devils NHL]
