Saturday the New Jersey Devils and the Detroit Red Wings will face off in New Jersey. It is the only meeting between these two teams this season.
Detroit is struggling offensive and medically. Most of the team is behind their goal paces from last season or sitting out because of injuries. Both Red Wings goalies have had their good and bad games. Jimmy Howard is coming off a string of starts, the last of which was a 4-1 loss on Thursday in Detroit. Seeing as the Wings will play again tomorrow, it is unclear as to whether Chris Osgood or Howard will start today.
New Jersey is on its last game of a four game home stand, although after playing on the road Monday they will play they next five at home. The Devils slipped a goal through with less than a minute left on Friday to win their game against the Lightning. Martin Brodeur played Friday so there is no word as to whether he’ll play on Saturday. The only thing that is certain is that Brodeur would love to record his 103 career shutout, tying him for the all-time record with former Wings legend Terry Sawchuk, against the struggling offense of the Red Wings.
