The Time: 1:00 PM EDT
The Broadcast: TV - MSG Plus; Radio - 1130 AM WBBR

A Song for Today:
Gameday Info: As we know, Martin Brodeur is in net today. Marc-Andrew Fleury will get his second start in as many days. Adam Henrique will also return today, though Pete DeBoer said he will see after warm-ups where he'll be placed in the lineup. Peter Harrold is out and has been sent back to Albany. There are no other changes, thus the Devils will play with the usual 6 defensemen and 12 forwards.
We are all aware that today is one of the biggest sports days in the world and it happens to involve a team locally. We understand it's on the tip of everyone's tongue. However, that game is tonight. This is a Devils blog. If you'd like to discuss the other game, please go here or here.
So please, use the comments here to discuss today's Devils game before, during, and after it happens until the recap is up. Please remember the rules at all times. Namely: keep your comments clean, keep them on topic, and keep them legal (read: nothing about illegal streams - no links, no discussion, no requests). Let's Go Devils!

Fact that surprised me
Kovy with 10 goals in last 13? That’s hawt.
He should have more thats why we lose

I’d expect the Pens to do more in 2nd period since they’re losing and looked half-asleep for 15 minutes. Still a splendid period for the Devils. 2 pretty goals and knocking on door for a third. Kovalchuk looks inspired. Keep it up Devils!

I like Janssen’s personality better than Boulton’s, as Janssen has history with the team, but I do prefer Boutlon Playing over Janssen, so I would keep Boutlon.
Janssen should just be the teams “spirit coach” he just hangs out in the locker room lifting everyones spirit and mood.

Devils win 4 straight and this was the best win. Pens pressed in the third but Devils did keep them honest. Devils got a lot of good bounces but they took advantage.

I liked our 3rd period effort today. All of our big 3rd period blown-leads this season have started with us backing off the forecheck, treating it like it’s won, conceding a goal in the first 5 mins, then going into panic mode. Today – hopefully we drew a line under that attitude. Even though we let them in (Malkin is a beast too) mid-period, we kept up the fight and ran the clock down pretty skilfully.
Simple message to the Devils … when 3 up going into the third, we need a hurry-up offense for the first 5 minutes, to neutralize the enemy’s coaching messages in the intermission.
Recap is up. Thanks for joining in and enjoy you evenings.
