But i was suprised how well the line worked, they had some good chances and Clarkson had that nice goal.

And I don't think Clarkson tried one wraparound attempt in that game! He's finally learned how to shoot (hopefully). As for the lines, remember that the Devils have Brent Sutter behind the bench. In his year plus of coaching the Devils he's changed line combinations so many times it would make your head spin. With their injury issues I expect that to continue.
As for Weekes, it was nice to see him all pumped up when he got the win. I've heard nothing but good things about the kind of guy he is in the locker room. I think the guys in front of him will rally around him and keep themselves in the playoff hunt until Marty gets back. This could actually be good for them in the long run. I think they've played the "Marty will save our asses" game a little too much the last couple years. If they can find ways to win without him, they'll be even better when he does come back.
