Gameday 29 - Devils

7:00 PM

 

 

Know The Enemy:
Running with the Devils

 

 

Another home game for the Pens.

This one is actually at home.

 

No Malkin today.

 

No Marty Brodeur either.

 

 

The Moose will be in net for the Devils.

Brodeur will be backup.

 

The last time the Pens and Devils played, New Jersey didn't bother icing a full team.

The Devils have lost six of their last ten and they have 18 points, the second lowest total in the NHL.

That doesn't mean the streaking Penguins can afford overlook them though.

If they do, this could be one of those games where a bad team catches a better team by surprise.

The Pens need to keep doing what they did in Columbus and pad their stats against a weak team.

 

It would help if the crowd was as loud in Pittsburgh as it was in Columbus too.

 

Guerin, a former Devil and Penguin, will be honored before the game.

Billy G won the Cup with both New Jersey and Pittsburgh.

He started his career with the Devils and ended it with the Penguins, so this is a fitting game to celebrate his career.

 

The Pens will be wearing their blue jerseys today.

 

Crosby was named the first star of the week.
