A few things to watch for during the game:*The Devils are going to be the same Devils they've always been. Bad offense, good defense, and great goaltending (assuming Broduer is in net). Jersey always plays that stupid neutral zone trap that the Caps always seem to have fits with. Think of it as a much better version of what Pittsburgh tried to do the other day. And Brodeur is...well Brodeur 32-12-0, 2.11 gaa, .913 sp lifetime against the Caps. But he must be past his prime right? Basically, if the Caps can get it done on special teams we shouldn't have any problems.
*The Caps will be without Tom Poti, and Victor Kozlov, and Donald Brashear, which means Sergei Fedorov will play defense full time tonight likely with Milan Jurcina. The absence of Brash also means Chris Bourque has been called up and will play the 4th line wing with Stecks and Bradley. It's nice to see he's getting to play this early in the season. As hard as he worked in the offseason and throughout training camp, he deserves this chance more than most. Go get 'em kid.
*Johnson will start in goal.
