"that chick from Ohio"
Another four-pointer, although this time it's more of a "don't concede" rather than a climbing opportunity. Still, every little bit helps.

Roster Report: The Blue Jackets used the same lines in practice Friday as the third period of Thursday's game. Whether Milano enters the lineup remains to be seen, with Tortorella speaking to the media pregame rather than in the morning.

The Devils have dropped each of their past two games after a pair of big wins last weekend. After defeating Washington (in Washington) and at home against Tampa Bay, who had won 10 straight heading into the game at Prudential Center, they had two really tough matchups against the Toronto Maple Leafs and a rematch in Washington.
On Tuesday, the Devils lost 7-4 to the Leafs. It was a game that they'd trailed 6-1 before narrowing the gap to 6-4 before ultimately losing after the Leafs added an empty-net goal. On Thursday, the Caps got their revenge with a 5-2 win. Blake Coleman had a hat trick on Tuesday and followed that up with a shorthanded goal Thursday.
Coleman leads the Devils with 18 goals and is tied for the NHL lead with three shorthanded markers on the season.
