Devils upend Capitals on Bergfors' pair of goals
The New Jersey Devils got their first break at home this season when the Washington Capitals scratched injured Alex Ovechkin from the lineup. The next batch of good fortune came when Niclas Bergfors busted out with a pair of third-period power-play goals. Bergfors connected for goals 3:13 apart to break open a tie game and send the Devils to a 3-2 victory over the Capitals on Wednesday night. It was only the second time this season New Jersey has won at home (2-4).
