Today's game is the second of four contests between New Jersey and Carolina. New Jersey fell in the first game, 2-1 on Nov. 18 at Carolina. The Devils are 2-1-1 in day games this year at the Prudential Center, and 2-3-2 overall. New Jersey is 8-6-0 against Carolina since the 2015-16 season.

The Hurricanes find themselves in the midst of a stretch of five consecutive games against divisional opponents, and they'll be looking for a bounce-back effort in New Jersey after dropping a 3-1 decision in Washington after returning from the holiday break.

My last (and first!) GDT was success - we win against Coyotes. Let's do it again.

Thanks! It will be my first time there. I was debating on where I wanted to go. 2 years ago I was in Prague, last year in Budapest for New Years. Last New Years ill be here in Europe so wanted to make sure it was an awesome one. London and Amsterdam were tops on the list but both were ungodly expensive. Barcelona is supposed to be incredible for NY and it wasnt crazy expensive to get there or get a hotel right by the main celebration area. Should be a good time.

Would you mind PMing me some suggestions and tips?

I used to love Rod, like most Canes fan. But my gosh my thoughts on him changed since being a coach. I didn't think he'd be this bad. I had a feeling him becoming the head coach could tarnish his history here, but not to this extent. Getting more frustrated with him by the day. McNoGoalsIn20Games with Aho & TT is just plain dumb. McGinn should be seeing the press box, not the freaking first line........

Everyone is freaking out over McGinn on the first line. I don't see the issue. The SAT line looked awful last game (as did the rest of the team), and we once again failed to score more than a single goal.

The SAT line worked because Svech was able to create space for Aho and TT to work. The hope is that McGinn can do the same, while Svech gets back to producing on another line, probably with Martinook, since he's said he enjoys playing with him.

But why McGinn over Ferland? He actually looked pretty good last game and was part of Aho’s goal. Seems given his last game and early season success with Aho and TT, he’d bee the logical choice. McGinn should be anywhere near the top six on any team, ours included.
