What's a face wash? This photo defines it. Patrik Elias is delivering a visor wipe, on Kings Captain Dustin Brown.
Dustin obviously needed a dustin' - and Patty was happy to deliver the cleaning. The face wash assist goes to Devils D-man Bryce Salvador.
Face washing is not what happened to Ilya Kovalchuk. He got a stick in his face, UNDER his visor, and it didn't rip his helmet off. Kings D-man Willie Mitchell got his stick up and took the penalty at the end of the third period.
Poor Willie, a former Devils player. His former team didn't score on the PP, but the penalty ate up precious seconds. LA goaltender Jonathan Quick skated off with only about 45 seconds remaining.
And then Kovy came roaring back from the infraction, scoring an empty-netter to ice the game.
LA fans had to put away the brooms and their team is headed east again. Will the Devils repeat what happened to Vancouver and Phoenix, and lose THREE home games in a row? Can the Kings preserve their flawless road game 10 - 0 record?
Stay tuned for Hockey Night in Newark, Saturday at the Rock
Hockey Rules!
