The Time: 7:00 PM EST
The Broadcast: TV- MSG+2, Radio- 660 AM & 101.9 FM WFAN
The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils (3-2-2) at the Ottawa Senators (4-1-0; SBN Blog: Silver Seven)
The Game Previews: Mike's preview from this morning is here. For the opposition's side, Adnan has this preview of the Senators at Silver Seven.
The Song for Tonight: These are "The Sticks" by The Budos Band from their recent album, Burnt Offering. Embrace the funk.
Gameday Info: Adnan's preview at Silver Seven has the Ottawa lineup. Robin Lehner will be starting the game for them. As for the Devils, Tom Gulitti very recently tweeted that Cory Schneider will start this game. That's a curious decision to say the least. Schneider had a lot of work to do against Dallas and playing goalies on consecutive nights is generally a poor idea. Gulitti also tweeted that there are no other lineup changes for New Jersey. So Jacob Josefson, Eric Gelinas, and Tuomo Ruutu are still in place.
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, no information how to get streams, etc.). Please refrain from extra large 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.
