This is a long road trip for a New Jersey squad that is 6-12-6 on the road. The Devils have struggled all year, ranking #28 in goals scored, #29 on the power play and #21 in goals allowed. The Devils had to play last night in a 3-2 overtime loss in Edmonton. New Jersey is on 7-21 run, as well as 17-36 away from home. Calgary is off a 3-2 win at home over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday as rookie Matthew Tkachuk has now put up eight goals and 19 assists in his first 40 professional games. The Flames also get right winger Troy Brouwer back tonight from an eight-game absence due to a broken finger. The Flames are 30-12 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The home team is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings and New Jersey has lost five in a row here. Take Calgary.
