Coach Burns mixed things up before Sunday night's game between the Bluejackets and the Devils. David Legwand, who had been playing between Gagne and Bure, was shifted to the top line, centering Elias and Slava Kozlov. Scott Gomez was dropped to the second unit and the move appeared to work. Legwand exploded for four points on the night including his 12th and 13th goals of the season.
Elias and Kozlov seemed to benefit from the shakeup as well. Elias had four shots on net and Kozlov scored his 3rd and 4rth goals, both set up by Legwand.
Gomez worked well with Bure and Gagne on the second line as well. Bure registered 6 shots on net and many of those opportunities were created by some slick playmaking from the talented Alaskan kid Gomez. Brodeur was solid in getting his 11th win of the season.
Jersey faces off against the Rangers Monday night and having won their last four in a row, they are looking forward to extending their win streak.
