Notes: Martin Brodeur will start...Matt Taormina and Cam Janssen are expected to sit...The Devils have won four of their last five...Jacob Josefson and Brad Mills have both been recalled...both will play tonight.

Jets to watch out for:

Andrew Ladd - The Jets captain scored and tallied four shots Saturday against the Devils.

Johnny Oduya - The former Devil played just less than 20 minutes and tallied an assist Saturday. I'm sure he'd be happier with a win tonight.

Chris Mason - He's coming off a shutout last night against the Ottawa Senators. With another solid performance he could steal a few more starts away from Ondrej Pavalec.

Devils to watch out for:

Jacob Josefson - He's playing his first NHL game since suffering a clavicle injury back in October.

Brad Mills - This is his first game since being sent to Albany after losing his spot on the 4th line. I'm sure he'd like to stick around as long, or longer, than the last time.

Martin Brodeur - He's coming off a pretty solid start against Winnipeg Saturday. Let's see if he can have a repeat performance.
