Danny Briere Apologizes After Hitting Krys Barch

Devils winger Krys Barch said he wasn’t hurt when he was checked from behind into the boards by Danny Briere with 2:46 left in the game.

“I’ve been hit harder with a fist,” Barch said. “I just caught my neck kind of awkwardly.”

No penalty was called on Briere.

“He apologized after,” Barch said. “So I guess if he apologized he thought he did something wrong.”
