Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET, the New Jersey Devils, (11-11-5, 27 points) and Montreal Canadiens (15-9-3, 33 points) go head-to-head live from the Bell Center in Montreal for the first of three meetings this season. The game can be live streamed here. New Jersey fans can hear all of the hard-hitting action on101.9 FM WFAN while Montreal fans can do the same on TSN 690.
New Jersey enters play having won its last two games while Montreal hasn't lost in regulation in almost two weeks.
Cory Schneider stopped 15 shots and earned his second shutout of the season Saturday night when the Devils topped the Buffalo Sabres 1-0 in overtime.
"I don't expect [a one-goal game] or think about it, but it doesn't matter if it's scoreless or tied 2-2 late in the game," Schneider said afterward via NHL.com. "You've got to be one save better to give your team a chance. When you're giving up under 20 shots a night, sometimes one goal is enough."
It will be Martin Brodeur manning the crease for New Jersey tonight, and he is 7-6-2 with a 2.20 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage this season.
The Canadiens have won five of their past six games with their latest win being a 4-2 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Montreal has allowed two goals or less in 10 straight games.
"I'm going to keep emphasizing that," goaltender Carey Price said Saturday per NHL.com. "We're playing excellent hockey in front of me. We're putting out 100 percent effort every night. There's no quit. That's been the key to our success so far."
Price is 11-8-2 with a 2.00 GAA and a .937 save percentage this season.
If he gets the nod, he'll look to stop a Devils offense that is led by Jaromir Jagr, who has 11 goals and 11 assists for 22 points while Patrik Elias has nine tallies and five helpers for 14 points and Andy Greene and Marek Zidlicky each have found the twine three times and added 10 assists for 13 points.
P.K. Subban paces the Canadiens with 23 points off of four goals and 19 assists while Tomas Plekanec has lit the lamp nine times and added nine helpers for 18 points and Alex Galchenyuk (six goals, 11 assists) and Andrei Markov (two goals, 15 assists) each have 17 points.
The Devils will look to keep winning as Montreal tries to extend their streak to six wins in seven tries when they hit the ice tonight at Bell Centre in Montreal.
