Really not much to say. Devils are last in the Metro and one of the worst teams in the NHL. I don't see why we would expect this to be anything but another close one goal game, possibly going into OT.

PLD must really be in the doghouse
As he should be. Guy goes from quality 1st line center to 3rd line center way too often. He has the talent to be so much more but looks lazy or disinterested at times, im sure if we had any sort of center depth he would be watching a game or 2 from above

With Philly coming we need two points... Must stop the losing streak tonight, it's close to a must win.. At minimum a point.
