Devils Try to Snap Slide Tonight

 The Devils are looking to avoid their fourth straight regulation loss tonight @ 10:00 against the Los Angeles Kings (8-13-4). The Devils haven’t lost 4 straight in the regular season since 2001, truly a great run. Even during the little slide, the Devils are playing pretty good hockey. They are still 6-4-0 in their past ten games. If the Devils win tonight, they will be guaranteed a record over .500 for the month of November. Marty will need some offensive support if the Devils want to win this game. This Saturday he stopped 25 of the 26 shots faced in a 2-0 loss to San Jose. The Sharks added an empty netter to round things off. It starts with the powerplay where the Devils have been 1-for-19 so far on this trip. On the Kings side of things, Garon has been playing much better than Cloutier, especially lately, and rumour has it that Cloutier and his $6.2 M contract aren’t sitting too well with the team. Look for Garon to get the start. Should be a good game, check it out if you can.

According to the Score network out of Canada, the Ottawa Senators are very close to acquiring center Craig Conroy from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defenseman Christoph Schubert, prospects Ilya Zubov and Danny Bois, and a draft choice. The 35 year old center, who is a free agent after this season, would be a natural fit as a number 2 center behind Jason Spezza.
