After Simone Egwu's putback for Virginia, Williams and Alexis Jones scored inside for Duke and the Blue Devils were on their way to their 28th consecutive road victory against an unranked opponent.
But Brodeur then stopped all seven Rangers shots the rest of the way, and after the Devils' 5-3 victory, Resch approached him with an obvious question: What went through your mind after Gaborik's goal?
The Kings' Justin Williams, who rang a shot off the post in the game's opening moments, tied it early in the second period, weaving his way from the mid-ice right-wing boards into the Devils' zone and beating Brodeur from the slot for his fourth goal of this postseason.
Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves, and the only thing that prevented this from being a shutout loss for the Devils was Andrei Loktionov's goal with 6:30 remaining that made it 4-1 way too late.
