The Devil's PK has been unsustainably successful - it's more than 5% higher than the best full season percentage post lockout. I know this is a topic for another thread, but, that, combined with the fact that only 3 teams have less regulation + OT wins than the Devils are big reasons why I expect them to fade away in the 2nd half.
It's crazy:
Hedberg has 6 GA on 84 shots on the PK = .929 SV% (.913 SV% for season)
Brodeur has 3 GA on 68 shots on the PK = .956 SV% (.884 SV% for season)
Meanwhile for us:
Gustavsson has 15 GA on 87 shots = .828 SV% (.898 SV% for the season)
Reimer has 19 GA on 82 shots = .768 SV% (.901 SV% for the season)
The Devils can't last at that pace, but I would probably need to look at how they are working on the PK to say for sure. Sometimes teams just apply the right defensive pressure when down a man when they would otherwise be a little sloppier in the defensive zone.
On a side note, Martin Brodeur is outscoring Dupuis
