The Song for Tonight: "The Yeti" by High On Fire. Avalanche you say? I'm sure cascading waves of collapsed snow are no doubt frightening and nothing to take lightly. Although if I found myself lost in the frozen heights I would truly dread the howl and stalk of the abominable snowman AKA the yeti. I would also expect the "Himalayan Yetis" to have undoubtedly imposing and kick butt jerseys but alas I digress.
Gameday Info: Cory Schneider will be back in the net for the Devils and Patrik Elias will make his return from a seven game absence due to a groin injury. Check in with Tom Gulitti for this and all the latest NJ Devils news.
The Reminder of Rules: This is a place where you can comment about this game before, during, and after it's played before the recap is up. This is a place where we primarily discuss the Devils game. An odd mention of other NHL games is OK, but it shouldn't dominate discussion. All comments will be clean, respectful of each other, relevant to the game, and legal (read: no streams). Please refrain from super-big pictures and .GIFs to keep the gamethread moving for everyone. If you do post pictures make sure to post a title in the comment. Go Devils.
