While preparing for a preview for tomorrow's New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers game, I do a follow up on each team's puck possession stats at even strength for the season. The Devils are still better than the Rangers and I show by how much.
Tonight, the New Jersey Devils will take on the Pittsburgh Penguins. This preview touches on both team's recent practices, how Zach Parise might change Dan Bylsma's strategy, and offers a goal for the Devils for tonight's game.
