Last night he was contributing a goal and an assist in the New Jersey Devils 5-3 win against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Game 5 victory gives the Devils a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Quote of the Night

Stephen Gionta on how much the AHL prepared him for his NHL opportunity

“It  prepares  you,  the  second-best league in the world. Every young player, every draft pick that comes through there and spent some time there, and it’s a tough league. And it definitely prepared me well for this opportunity. And that’s how I got there.”

On Friday, Albany Devils Vice President of Sales and Marketing Chris Valente went on Jacobs’ afternoon radio show and the two agreed on the follow proposition based on the outcome of the seven-game series.

If New Jersey Prevails: Jacobs will be employed by the Devils as Devil Dawg for one game during the 2012-13 season.

If New York Prevails: The Devils will give Jacobs 10 tickets to give away on his show to listeners who have never attended a hockey game.

We’ll have more coverage of the agreement as the series progresses.
