New Jersey at Vancouver

Chris Luongo should be back for this one. He'll oppose another great goaltender in Martin Brodeur. The problem for New Jersey is offense. Despite Brodeur's play, this team is 9-10 on the road thanks to averaging just 2.4 goals per game. Over their last five, they have managed just 10 total goals. Vancouver is a mirror image, playing great defense but struggling offensively. But, Vancouver is home, and they have had an additional day of rest. They have had a rough stretch losing four of their last five games, but only one of those was at home. Prior to that they won five of six. They are 7-0 this season after scoring 2 or fewer goals in two straight games. We expect a focused effort and a Vancouver win here.
