Preview: Red Wings (32-21) at Blackhawks (40-21)

Date: March 06, 2016 5:00 PM EDT

A stellar performance by Patrick Kane and company left quite an impression on Detroit coach Jeff Blashill after his Red Wings suffered a home loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in their first of two meetings in five days.

Blashill acknowledged afterward what his team needs to do to slow down Kane, and they'll get another shot in Sunday's rematch at the United Center.

Chicago (40-21-5) got off to a quick start Wednesday against its longtime rival, taking a 1-0 lead 2:23 into the first period on Brent Seabrook's career-high 13th goal en route to a 5-2 victory. The game took a major turn in the second when the Blackhawks took advantage of a 5-on-3 power play, scoring twice in a 1:26 span to go up 3-0.

Kane assisted on the first - Artemi Panarin's first of two goals on the night - and scored the second after Seabrook found him wide open at the blue line. The superstar then skated in untouched to wrist a shot past Petr Mrazek.

'We've just got to do a better job of being tight to him,' Blashill said of Kane, who has a career-best 37 goals and leads the league with a career high-tying 88 points. "We've got to do a better job of not giving him as much space. It's not an easy thing to do. He's great at creating space, but you have to limit his opportunities.'

The trouble with that is if too much attention is paid to Kane, linemates Artem Anisimov and Panarin also have a knack for scoring. Panarin leads all rookies with 24 goals and 59 points and has four of his six power-play scores in the last seven games.

"Him and Kane, they find each other pretty much anywhere," Detroit defensemen Jonathan Ericsson said. "We've got to be aware of them wherever they are. They're a little unpredictable on the ice, too because they maybe don't follow the standard routes, so you've got to keep an eye on them and try to stay close."

The Blackhawks haven't had a 90-point scorer since Jeremy Roenick totaled 107 in 1993-94.

Blashill also had high praise for Corey Crawford, who didn't allow a goal until midway through the third period and finished with 31 saves. Wednesday's victory gave him a career-high 34 - the most by a Blackhawks goaltender since Ed Belfour had 37 in 1993-94.

"He consistently does that," Blashill said. "He makes big saves at big moments, that's why he is who he is. He's a big piece of their team."

Crawford got the day off the following night, and Chicago came out flat Thursday in Boston, getting outshot 12-5 in the first period and losing 4-2.

'I know it's a back-to-back, but you can't really make up any excuses," defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said.

Although the Blackhawks didn't play with much intensity, the power play continued to roll as Jonathan Toews scored with the man advantage. Chicago, tied with Dallas atop the Western Conference, is 12 for 25 with the extra skater in the last eight games. Detroit (32-21-11) had killed all 17 penalties over a six-game stretch before having its three-game win streak end Wednesday.

"We've got to stay out of the box," Ericsson said. "Their power play is really good. ... We've got to communicate a little better."

The three days' off between games for Detroit should benefit Mrazek, who returned Wednesday after sitting out Monday's 3-2 overtime win at Dallas with a groin injury. Mrazek has allowed five goals in three of his last six starts after going 9-2-2 with a 1.22 goals-against average in his previous 13.

Brad Richards, who won the Stanley Cup with Chicago last season, scored Wednesday and has been heating up, tallying three of his eight goals in the last six games.

The Blackhawks are 7-1-1 in their last nine home meetings with the Red Wings, which includes the 2013 Western Conference semifinals.

Preview: Islanders (35-20) at Rangers (38-21)

Date: March 06, 2016 5:00 PM EDT

After knocking off the NHL's top team despite being without their star goaltender, the New York Rangers look to take down their in-state rival for the first time this season.

With Henrik Lundqvist's status uncertain, the Rangers try to avoid a third straight defeat to a New York Islanders' team that's looking for six wins on a seven-game road trip for the first time in franchise history Sunday night.

As Lundqvist sat with neck spasms, the Rangers (38-21-6) got a tiebreaking goal from Derek Stepan early in the third and 32 saves from Antti Raanta in Friday's 3-2 victory at Washington.

'It was a good sign for us responding under tough conditions, travel (to Washington) and obviously going against the top team in the league and proving that we can come out on top,' said captain Ryan McDonagh, who had two assists.

Though the second-place Rangers are well back of the Capitals in the Metropolitan Division, they're amid an 11-3-1 stretch and five points ahead of the third-place Islanders (35-20-7).

"It's about finding ways to win," coach Alain Vigneault said.

The Rangers did so minus Lundqvist, who remains day to day after he left Thursday's 4-1 loss at Pittsburgh following a collision with McDonagh.

"I don't think it's anything serious," Vigneault said of Lundqvist, who yielded three goals in the second period of that defeat. "He's getting evaluated again (Saturday)."

Lundqvist stopped 65 of 68 shots while the Rangers totaled two goals in going 0-1-1 in this season's first two meetings with the Islanders - both on the road.

Raanta has a 1.67 goals-against average while winning his last three starts, and could make his first career appearance against the Islanders.

"(The Rangers) are a good team, right in front of us in the standings," Islanders forward Anders Lee said. "Big divisional game, and we've got to be ready to go. They play physical. We've got to get to the net and limit their opportunities, obviously."

The Islanders improved to 5-1-0 on a season-high seven-game trip with Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against Winnipeg. Kyle Okposo scored the winner and had an assist while Lee also contributed one of each.

"The guys worked hard this road trip," coach Jack Capuano told the NHL's official website.

Okposo and Lee have combined for three goals and four assists in the last two games for the Islanders, who have won nine of 12.

"Just excited for us and the boys," Lee said. "It will be nice to get back home and get our bearings back."

Amid their recent success, the Islanders are just 2 for 20 on the power play in seven games but 2 for 4 against the Rangers in 2015-16.

Okposo has a goal with two assists against them this season.

Though Thomas Greiss started the last two games, Jaroslav Halak could get the call after stopping all but two of 69 shots faced in the first two of this season series.

While playing for Montreal, St. Louis and the Islanders, Halak has a 1.25 GAA and .960 save percentage during a four-game winning streak at Madison Square Garden. He made 27 saves in a 3-0 victory in the teams' most recent meeting there Jan. 13 of last year.

In the midst of a 7-0-1 starting stretch, Greiss has never made a start against the Rangers.

Teammate John Tavares has gone three games without a point after recording 19 in the previous 14 contests.

Re: NHL Betting Info. 3/6

Preview: Penguins (33-23) at Devils (31-28)

Date: March 06, 2016 5:00 PM EDT

The Pittsburgh Penguins had trouble providing reasons for losing at home to one of the NHL's worst teams when so much is on the line in a tight playoff race.

There's also little explanation for why they've played so poorly in their recent trips to New Jersey.

Cory Schneider's play in net has been part of it, but the injured Devils goaltender won't be in uniform when they try to trim their deficit for the Eastern Conference's final postseason spot Sunday night.

Pittsburgh (33-22-8) blew a two-goal lead in a loss to Washington on Tuesday before bouncing back with a win over the New York Rangers two nights later. But after Sidney Crosby scored his second goal of the game Saturday against a Calgary team that entered having dropped seven straight, the Flames scored the final three for a 4-2 victory.

The Penguins' five-point edge for the last wild-card spot was cut to three after Philadelphia routed Columbus 6-0 later that night. They also missed an opportunity to move into seventh in the East and could've pulled within one point of the New York Islanders, who hold the Metropolitan Division's last automatic playoff berth.

"For whatever reason, we didn't have the desperation, the urgency that you need," Crosby said. "Sometimes that happens, but there's no excuse for that because we need points. We're in a huge playoff race right now. We can't accept that. We've got to be better."

Pittsburgh has lost three of its last four on the road and begins a four-game trip against the Devils (31-28-7), who trail the Penguins by five points in the playoff race.

"The good thing is we've got 19 games left," said Patric Hornqvist, who had two assists to give him four along with five goals during a five-game point streak. "We know we have a good enough group in here to win a lot of games and series, so just fix those things and go on here."

Crosby and Phil Kessel scored in a 2-0 home win over the Devils in the last meeting Jan. 26, but Pittsburgh's had plenty of trouble finding the net in road matchups. The Penguins have been outscored 22-8 while dropping seven of eight in Newark and have been blanked in the last two by Schneider, who made 21 saves in a 4-0 win Nov. 14.

Schneider, though, suffered a lower-body injury and left in the second period of Friday's 4-2 loss at Dallas. The severity of his injury is expected to be released prior to the game, which backup Keith Kinkaid will start.

Kinkaid stopped all six shots he faced against the Stars and is 5-5-1 with a 2.48 goals-against average in 11 starts and three relief efforts this season.

"Keith came in and played great right when he went in there," said forward Adam Henrique, who has four goals over his last three. "They had a couple opportunities he made big saves on."

New Jersey could use a solid performance from Kinkaid with the club running out of time to catch Pittsburgh. The Devils have dropped seven of their last nine, including a 1-4-0 mark at home in that stretch.

Coach John Hynes certainly wasn't pleased with the latest effort.

"We were just light on the puck," Hynes said. "May have been the difference of getting a point out of the game or two points out of the game right there."

Crosby has scored once in his last 10 games in New Jersey.

Re: NHL Betting Info. 3/6

Preview: Oilers (25-35) at Jets (27-32)

Date: March 06, 2016 7:00 PM EDT

After a last-place team snapped Edmonton's mini-run, the Oilers can still put a positive stamp on their trip against another.

Two days after watching their first win streak in a month end, the Oilers visit the Winnipeg Jets in a battle of two of the Western Conference's worst teams Sunday night.

Edmonton (25-35-7) found a pulse with three straight wins following a dismal 1-8-2 stretch, including victories at Buffalo on Tuesday and Philadelphia on Thursday to open a four-game trip. But despite another goal and an assist from rookie phenom Connor McDavid, the Oilers blew up defensively in Friday's 6-3 loss at Columbus, pushing them to the bottom of the Pacific Division with 57 points.

The effects of Thursday's 4-0 win over the Flyers were evident as the Blue Jackets scored on their first two shots and beat 22-year-old backup goaltender Laurent Brossoit four times in the opening 30 minutes.

"I was concerned going in that our gas tanks would be a little bit empty and the energy level would be low," coach Todd McLellan told the team's official website. "Tired teams can still win in this league if they play smart, and we didn't."

McDavid, the No. 1 pick in last year's draft, has returned from a broken left collarbone with eight goals and 14 assists in 17 games to pump life into an Edmonton attack that averages 2.40 goals.

However, it was a defensive unit ranked toward the bottom of the league that lifted the Oilers on their run and floored them in their latest loss.

Edmonton, the only remaining team with single digit victories on the road at 9-21-5, surrendered two goals on its win streak and six over its previous five games before Brossoit coughed up six in his second start of the season and third of his career.

Starter Cam Talbot will return Sunday looking to continue the dominance that resulted in a .966 save percentage over his last five starts. Talbot stopped 44 shots in a 3-1 home win over the Jets on Dec. 21, but Brossoit suffered the loss in a 2-1 shootout defeat in Edmonton on Feb. 13.

Winnipeg has won five of the last six meetings in this series, though four of them were decided in either overtime or a shootout.

The Jets (27-32-5), last in the Central, followed their Feb. 13 win over the Oilers with a 1-5-2 stretch before Saturday's 4-2 win over Montreal snapped a three-game skid.

Mark Scheifele continued his hot streak with his first career hat trick, including the winner with 6:59 left to end Winnipeg's six-game home skid.

Scheifele has followed a 14-game goal drought with eight in his last eight since stepping into the No. 1 center spot following a season-ending vertebrae injury to Bryan Little. Scheifele leads Winnipeg with a career-high 20 goals.

"It feels good," the 22-year-old told the team's official website. "I want to continue to grow and get better."

Saturday was the first time in eight games Winnipeg held an opponent to fewer than three goals. Michael Hutchinson started four games in that stretch, scuffling to an .885 save percentage and 3.50 goals-against average.

Winnipeg placed defenseman Adam Pardy on waivers Sunday and Edmonton picked him up a day later. The 31-year-old had just one assist in 14 games with the Jets, but he has two in three contests with the Oilers.

Re: NHL Betting Info. 3/6

Preview: Blues (37-20) at Wild (31-25)

Date: March 06, 2016 8:00 PM EDT

While the St. Louis Blues try to keep the pressure on in the race for Western Conference supremacy, the Minnesota Wild would like to extend their new wild-card lead.

Jori Lehtera played a major role in evening this season series last month. Now he's hoping to return as the Blues look to come away with the decisive fifth meeting.

Vladimir Tarasenko attempts to torment the hosts again Sunday night when St. Louis chases its third straight win and tries to deny Minnesota its longest run in almost a year.

The Blues have had four days off since a 4-3 shootout win at Ottawa moved them into a three-way tie atop the Central Division. With Chicago and Dallas now leading the West by two points, St. Louis will try to keep pace with its seventh win in eight road games.

The Blues (37-20-9), however, have dropped four of their last five trips to Minnesota, including last year's first-round playoff series that the Wild won in six games. They evened this season series Feb. 6 when Lehtera, Paul Stastny and Troy Brouwer each had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 home win.

Stastny has three assists and four points in his three games against the Wild.

With some time off between games, Lehtera said he was "pretty sure" he'd be ready to return following a three-game absence after taking a redirected puck to the face on Feb. 25 against the New York Rangers.

"I feel pretty good," he told the team's official website. "I'm ready to play again."

Tarasenko, who scored his team-high 30th goal against the Senators, should feel good about facing the Wild (31-25-10). The right wing has scored in each of his last four regular-season meetings and has 11 goals in his past 12 versus Minnesota, including playoffs.

St. Louis has totaled eight goals in its back-to-back wins after scoring just four times during a three-game losing streak. The club hopes to keep it going against projected starter Devan Dubnyk, who stopped 30 shots in a 3-2 shootout win at Buffalo on Saturday.

Dubnyk is 4-1-1 with a 1.98 goals-against average in his last six starts against the Blues dating to last year's playoff series. Minnesota's defense continues to carry an offense that has averaged 2.6 goals in its last seven.

David Jones, however, scored his first goal since he was acquired from Calgary at the trade deadline as Minnesota won its fourth straight Saturday.

The Wild, who have made the playoffs three straight years, moved into sole possession of the West's final wild-card spot with the victory and Colorado's loss. They can build a four-point cushion with their first five-game run since March 21-28.

'Every single point is important and we've got to keep getting better and keep building our game,' said Mikko Koivu, who has found the net in each of the past two games.

Charlie Coyle has three goals in his last two home games and scored twice in the other home meeting with St. Louis. Erik Haula has two goals in the past three matchups overall.

Jake Allen will try to contain Minnesota after allowing five goals on 77 shots in the back-to-back wins. Including playoffs, he owns a 2.19 GAA in 10 career starts.

Grand Salami - March

The Grand Salami in pro hockey is decided by adding up all the goals scored in every game scheduled for that particular day. You can wager on 'over' or 'under' the Grand Salami total. The total is set by adding up all listed 'over/under' odds for each game on that particular day.

Note: The Grand Salami will have no action if any game is suspended or cancelled before the regulation time of three twenty minute periods. Also, regardless of the number of goals scored during the shoot out portion of the overtime, the final scored recorded for the game will give the winning team on more goal than its opponent based on the score at the end of regulation time.

*The majority of sportsbooks do not put out a total on the Grand Salami when there is only one game on the card. For tracking purposes, we will continue to show the 'over/under' for goals and combined goals scored on days with just one game.

Preview: Detroit at Chicago

When: 5:00 PM ET, Sunday, March 6, 2016
Where: United Center, Chicago, Illinois
The Detroit Red Wings have revenge on their minds when they look to further strengthen their hold on a postseason berth Sunday against the host Chicago Blackhawks. Detroit, which sits in the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and still is within reach of first place in the Atlantic Division, had its five-game point streak snapped at home by Chicago 5-2 on Wednesday in the opener of the two-game season series between the Original Six – and former Central Division – rivals.
The Red Wings have yet to have a player reach the 20-goal plateau as rookie Dylan Larkin leads the team with 19 but has scored only one in his last 11 contests. Chicago is even in points with Dallas atop the Central but has hit a rough patch, losing six of its last 10 games (4-5-1). Patrick Kane has remained on a tear, however, recording five goals and seven assists in that span to raise his league-leading point total to a career high-tying 88. The 27-year-old turned in a three-point performance Wednesday, scoring the game-winning power-play goal while adding a pair of assists, to give him 35 in 40 career meetings with the Red Wings.
TV: 5 p.m. ET, NHL Network, RSN360, FSN Detroit, CSN Chicago
ABOUT THE RED WINGS (32-21-11): Brendan Smith hopes to return to the lineup Sunday after being a healthy scratch for the last three games. “You’re always disappointed when you don’t get called in and you can’t play,” the defenseman told the team’s website. “That’s just like everybody, if you don’t get the job or whatever, you’re frustrated, and so what do you do to get that back? You work hard and you try to do your best to get that job back, and I’m getting that chance.” Sunday will be defenseman Niklas Kronwall’s 50th career game versus Chicago, making Nashville (51) the only team against which he has appeared in more contests.
ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (40-21-5): Artemi Panarin is running away with the rookie scoring title, collecting 59 points in 64 games. The 24-year-old Russian, who scored two goals versus Detroit on Wednesday – his only two points in his last five contests, owns a 15-point lead over Buffalo’s Jack Eichel and also tops all first-year players in goals (24) and game-winners (six). Captain Jonathan Toews’ needs one winning goal to eclipse the career high of eight he first set in 2010-11.
OVERTIME
1. The Blackhawks are 12-for-25 on the power play since Feb. 13.
2. Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg leads the club with 41 points but is mired in a six-game drought.
3. Chicago RW Marian Hossa (lower body) will miss his eighth straight contest but hopes to return to the lineup Wednesday in St. Louis.
PREDICTION: Blackhawks 3, Red Wings 2

Re: NHL Betting Info. 3/6

Preview: Dallas at Ottawa
When: 5:00 PM ET, Sunday, March 6, 2016
Where: Canadian Tire Centre, Ottawa, Ontario
The Dallas Stars attempt to put together consecutive wins for the first time since mid-February when they visit the Ottawa Senators on Sunday. Dallas halted a season high-tying four-game slide (0-3-1) with Friday’s 4-2 home triumph over New Jersey, putting itself in position for its first winning streak since a four-game run since Feb. 9-15.
The Stars are even in points with Chicago for first place in the Central Division but have gotten little production of late from the dynamic duo of captain Jamie Benn (five-game drought) and Tyler Seguin (one goal in seven games), who share the team lead with 32 goals apiece. Ottawa is in reach of a postseason berth as it climbed within five points of Pittsburgh for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference with a 3-2 comeback victory at Toronto on Saturday. Zack Smith has been a major offensive contributor lately, recording five goals and three assists over his last eight contests. Jean-Gabriel Pageau registered the first of his two three-point performances this season against the Stars, scoring two goals and setting up another in a 7-4 triumph at Dallas on Nov. 24.
TV: 5 p.m. ET, FSN Southwest Plus (Dallas), TSN5, RDS (Ottawa)
ABOUT THE STARS (39-20-7): Dallas will be without defenseman John Klingberg, who is not expected to travel with the team on its two-game road trip after suffering a lower-body injury in Friday’s victory. “Nothing conclusive with the tests, which is good,” coach Lindy Ruff told the team’s website. “So we just go day-to-day with him and see where he is at.” Despite their recent struggles, Benn and Seguin rank second and third in the league in scoring with 71 and 68 points, respectively.
ABOUT THE SENATORS (31-28-7): Captain Erik Karlsson leads the team – and all NHL defensemen – with 68 points, which ties him with Seguin for third in the league. The 25-year-old Swede is two assists and 10 points shy of his career highs of 59 and 78, both of which were set in 2011-12. With a club-high 25 goals and 46 points, Mike Hoffman is two away from matching his career bests in both categories, which were set last season.
OVERTIME
1. Stars RW Patrick Eaves has missed the last six games with pneumonia but practiced Saturday and will accompany the club to Ottawa and Montreal.
2. Three of Ottawa’s last five home games have gone to a shootout, with the Senators winning twice.
3. Dallas RW Valeri Nichushkin appears to finally be breaking out of his season-long slump as he has recorded three goals and two assists over his last six contests.
PREDICTION: Stars 5, Senators 2

Re: NHL Betting Info. 3/6

Preview: NY Islanders at NY Rangers
When: 5:00 PM ET, Sunday, March 6, 2016
Where: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
The New York Islanders are holding up just fine during a rough road stretch and continue their quest for second place in the Metropolitan Division when they visit the New York Rangers on Sunday. The Islanders are 5-1-0 on their seven-game trek and still have six of their next eight away from home as they trail the Rangers for second in the division by five points.
The Islanders have three games in hand on the Rangers, who have been just as hot lately with six victories in their last eight contests. The Islanders rallied to win 4-3 at Winnipeg on Thursday on Kyle Okposo’s overtime goal, earning their second straight victory despite being outshot as coach Jack Capuano told reporters, “You just have to find ways to win.” The Rangers did the same thing Friday as they edged league-leading Washington 3-2 on the road without Henrik Lundqvist, who is day-to-day with neck spasms. Antti Raanta got the win Friday, but Lundqvist has not yet been ruled out for Sunday’s contest.
TV: 5 p.m. ET, MSG Plus2 (Islanders), MSG (Rangers)
ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (35-20-7): Okposo has recorded a goal and three assists in his last two games to reach 50 points for the third straight season, tying captain John Tavares for the team lead. Defenseman Calvin de Haan (lower body) could miss Sunday’s game while Mikhail Grabovski (upper body) is close to returning but likely will sit out his sixth straight contest. Thomas Greiss played the last two games and is 7-0-1 in his last eight starts, but Jaroslav Halak is 12-6-0 lifetime versus the Rangers.
ABOUT THE RANGERS (38-21-6): Derek Stepan notched the winning goal early in the third period Friday and has posted four points in his last four contests. Mats Zuccarello tops the team in scoring and is two points shy of reaching 50 for the second time in three seasons while Derick Brassard is second with 47 but has gone seven games without a goal. Magnus Hellberg was recalled Friday to back up Raanta, who has won three straight starts and posted a .950 save percentage over his last four contests.
OVERTIME
1. The Islanders have won both meetings this season, including a shootout victory on Jan. 14.
2. Rangers C J.T. Miller has recorded a career-high 34 points but has gone without one in his last seven games.
3. Islanders C Shane Prince, acquired from Ottawa at the trade deadline, notched a goal in his second game with the club on Thursday.
PREDICTION: Islanders 4, Rangers 3

**Satch** · 03-06-2016, 09:17 AM

Re: NHL Betting Info. 3/6

Preview: Pittsburgh at New Jersey
When: 5:00 PM ET, Sunday, March 6, 2016
Where: Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey
The Pittsburgh Penguins will try to rebound from a surprising home loss 24 hours earlier when they visit the Metropolitan Division-rival New Jersey Devils on Sunday. The Penguins gave up the final three goals of the game in a 4-2 loss to struggling Calgary on Saturday after winning 10 of their previous 12 at Consol Energy Center.
Pittsburgh still holds the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference by three points over Philadelphia and is three behind the New York Islanders for third in the division. The good news is that the Penguins will not have to face All-Star Cory Schneider, who suffered a lower-body injury in the 4-2 loss at Dallas on Friday and is out indefinitely. The Devils have dropped seven of their last nine games to fall five points behind Pittsburgh in the wild-card race, and the loss of Schneider could be a major blow to their chances. Adam Henrique will lead an injury-depleted lineup into Sunday’s contest having scored four goals in his last three games.
TV: 5 p.m. ET, ROOT (Pittsburgh), MSG Plus (New Jersey)
ABOUT THE PENGUINS (33-23-8): Captain Sidney Crosby and Patric Hornqvist remained hot with two points apiece in Saturday’s loss while Evgeni Malkin, who had notched five points in his previous four games, was kept off the scoresheet. Crosby leads the team with 63 points, recording three goals to go along with four assists in his last four games, and Hornqvist has posted five tallies and nine points in his last five contests. Marc-Andre Fleury’s three-game winning streak ended against Calgary, which could mean rookie Matt Murray gets the start Sunday.
ABOUT THE DEVILS (31-28-7): The recently acquired Devante Smith-Pelly, who has scored in his first two games with the team, and fellow forward Joseph Blandisi both were fined $2,000 for diving/embellishment but avoided suspensions. Kyle Palmieri leads the team with 24 goals and 43 points while Henrique has climbed within one in each category with Mike Cammalleri (hand) still out undefinitely. Keith Kinkaid (5-5-1), who owns the team’s only victory in the last five games, is likely to get the start Sunday while Yann Danis was recalled from Albany of the American Hockey League to serve as the backup.
OVERTIME
1. New Jersey D Adam Larsson is the team’s active leader with a plus-14 rating.
2. Pittsburgh D Kris Letang has scored 11 goals and needs one in the last 18 games to set a career high.
3. The Devils have gone 3-1-1 in their last five meetings with the Penguins and have posted two straight shutouts against them at home.
PREDICTION: Penguins 5, Devils 2
