Notable injuries: Ryane Clowe, Patrik Elias, Bryce Salvador, Jon Merrill.

Some notes:

- Janssen has been recalled because Lou Lamoriello felt a different element was needed. That element being fighting, because he doesn't do anything else. Jay Rosehill is scratched for Philadelphia tonight but you can bet Janssen will go out of his way to start a scrap with Newbury, Rinaldo or any other willing combatant.

- Volchenkov and Harrold are now healthy and will both draw into the lineup. Pete DeBoer scratched Mark Fayne and the injured Jon Merrill to make room for them. Why Fayne has to sit for either of those guys is beyond me.

- Giroux hasn't scored a goal this year, but he's still Giroux. Zajac is back in the lineup and will surely draw the assignment of shadowing him all game long.

- Brodeur has played his best hockey of the season over his last couple starts. He hasn't been spectacular, but he's given the team a chance to win. The Devils will need another good effort from him tonight with the team struggling so bad to score.

- After a string of excellent hockey, Jagr has gone a little cold of late. He's pointless in his last two games and doesn't have a shot over that span.

- Gelinas was dominant over his first two games this season, but he's quieted down a little over his last few appearances. If he wants to remain in the lineup when everyone is healthy he'll need to get going again.
