Notes: Martin Brodeur will start...Krys Barch, Tom Kostopoulos and Jacob Josefson will be the scratches up front...Peter Harrold and Adam Larsson will sit on defense...Johan Hedberg is banged up and will not dress...Keith Kinkaid has been recalled and will serve as the backup tonight.
Bruins to watch:
Brad Marchand - He's had a very nice season thus far recording 32 points (16G, 16A) in 37 games and four points (2G, 2A) in his last four.
Jaromir Jagr - The future Hall of Famer is off to a good start in Boston picking up three points in his first three games.
Anton Khodubin - Khodubin has had an excellent year as the Bruins backup this season. He's 8-3-0 with a 2.07 goals against average and .929 save percentage.
Devils to watch:
Patrik Elias - Elias has been ice cold of late scoring just one goal and adding two assists in his last 12 games.
Steve Sullivan - Between playing for the Devils and Coyotes, Sullivan has just one point in his last 12 games.
Andrei Loktionov - The young centre has quietly entered a bit of a drought of his own as he's pointless in his last four.
