The Song for Tonight: "Awaken" by Dethklok. This lovely folk song tells a tale about awakening a giant red devil (technically a Finnish lake troll but let's not get caught up in minor details) from his slumber. Between the Devils sleepy play as of late and all of the tryptophan ingestion that took place yesterday this track seemed fitting.
Gameday Info: Hurricanes forward Alexander Semin (concussion) and goaltender Anton Khudobin (lower body) are still out. Carolina defenseman Tim Gleason is questionable with an undisclosed lower body injury. Devils Stephen Gionta (ankle) remains on IR. Defensemen Adam Larsson (lower body) is questionable while Anton Volchenkov (lower body) will return to the ice for the Devils. Defenseman Bryce Salvador (foot), and forward Ryane Clowe (concussion) are doubtful.
The Reminder of Rules: This is a place where you can comment about this game before, during, and after it's played before the recap is up. This is a place where we primarily discuss the Devils game. An odd mention of other NHL games is OK, but it shouldn't dominate discussion. All comments will be clean, respectful of each other, relevant to the game, and legal (read: no streams). Please refrain from super-big pictures and .GIFs to keep the gamethread moving for everyone. If you do post pictures make sure to post a title in the comment. Go Devils.
Coat Drive Reminder: This Saturday November 30 the NJ Devils will host their annual coat drive benefitting Jersey Cares. More information can be found here.
