St. Louis at New Jersey

The New Jersey Devils failed to make the playoffs last season, and all they had to do is go back to their first seven games of the season and circle their inept start at 0-7. They entered this season well aware of their failure to get out of the gate strong this season, and have met the challenge as they are 6-3-2 through 11 games. The Devils have won the first two games of this homestand, and have some momentum going as they take on the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis is having some success of their own as winners of five straight, but are coming here off a tough game that went to overtime last night vs. the Rangers. They also had a shootout game prior to that, so this could be a tired team taking the ice tonight. Indeed, we find the Blues now 0-5 in their last five when playing four games in six nights. The Devils have met the challenge of taking on an elite team as they are 4-0 in their last four vs. a team over .600. Play on New Jersey.
