His goal tonight was the only one the Devils needed for their first victory at home.

The Devils drew even at 14:29 of the period and needed just 37 seconds more to take the lead.

The Devils would have still needed another goal to tie the game.

After a particularly dominating first 20 minutes, it appeared as if the Devils would not need anything else from their power play.

In other words, it was just the kind of game the Devils needed.

No matter who their coach is, the Devils need better defensemen.

What the Devils need to maintain the public interest is simply to have a winning record after the first 10 games.

The Devils needed only six shots to score their first four goals.

That turned out to be the only goal the Devils needed.

It was all that the Devils, who are 40-1-3 when leading after two periods, needed.
