The struggling Devils will try to keep pace in the Eastern Conference standings as they face the Rangers tonight at the Prudential Center. With the Rags pulling away in the Atlantic division, the Devils continue to chase the Flyers and Penguins for the 4th seed in the conference. The Devils are 1-4-1 in their last six games after losing to the Islanders on Sunday. Currently in the 6th seed with 77 points, a big win against the conference-leading Rangers would give us some confidence going forward. The players know how important every game will be for the rest of the regular season. Right winger David Clarkson said, "Every game means everything with how close the standings are. We can't sit here and dwell. We have to get ready for the Rangers." After earning 19 penalty minutes against the Rangers when they played last week, I'm sure they have their eye on Clarkson. We'll see who he drops the gloves with tonight, because I'm sure he will. I'm ok with another flying charge though.
For tonight, Andy Greene is a game-time decision with a bad back and Alexei Ponikarovsky is out with an MCL sprain. Luckily, the Devils have Zach Parise in the lineup after getting hit in the hand by a slapshot. Devils points leader Ilya Kovalchuk hasn't scored a goal in his last nine games, so let's fucking go Kovy. Fuck the Rangers.
LET'S GO DEVILS
Yes, I will keep saying Rangers Suck until they do something in the playoffs since 1994.
