The Devils got that one back 2:07 later when Mark Fayne's shot from the right point sailed wide but deflected in off of Bernier, who was battling Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers for position to the left of the net.
It was also the first game back for former Devils player and head coach John MacLean, now an assistant to Muller....D Mark Fayne was in the Devils starting lineup despite missing the morning skate due to a death in the family....The Hurricanes had last won here on March 28, 2009.
