1991 Patrick Semi-Final - Gm 1: Devils 3, Pens 1

After a tight first period that saw neither team score, Mario Lemieux put the Pens in the lead midway through the second with a power play marker. Peter Stastny answered back for the Devils and the teams went to the locker room after two still tied. The third was all New Jersey, as Stastny and Laurie Boschman scored less than a minute apart early on.

"We better open our eyes," said Pens defenseman Paul Coffey in a quiet post-game dressing room. "We're playing a good hockey club. It's not like there were 15 or 20 points separating us this year. We better be ready to play (Game 2)."
