ALBANY, NY -- Although he wasn't officially credited with the game-winning goal, Jeff Frazee arguably made the game-changing play in the Albany Devils 2-1 win against the Adirondack Phantoms Saturday at Times Union Center in front of 5,131 fans. Frazee denied a backdoor play, leading to a fast break the other way. The sequence ended with Matt Anderson finding the tiniest of openings at 3:41. From there the Devils held strong, killing off two Adirondack power-plays, including one in the final three minutes. In the end, Albany skated away with a Time Warner Cable Cup win, improving to 2-1 in the best-of-12 series. Frazee finished the night with 22 saves and improved his goals-against average to 1.48 and his save percentage to .929. He is now 2-1-1 on the year. Bobby Butler gave the Devils a 1-0 lead with his first tally of the season. Matt Corrente moved the play forward with a pass to Joe Whitney, who found Butler cutting to the net. After receiving the pass, Butler fired a wrist shot far side at 13:44 of the second. Adirondack responded with a short-side goal by Eric Wellwood at 17:37 of the second, but Albany answered with Anderson's goal from Jacob Josefson and Chad Wiseman. It marked the first time this season the Devils were victorious when not leading entering the final frame.
