Game notes:
- After a shutout victory in Edmonton last night, the Devils will look to complete the Alberta sweep tonight in Calgary. The Flames are a pesky team and always seem to stay in games until the end even if they lose, so the Devils will need to be on their toes for 60 minutes.
- Markus Granlund has nine points in 10 games since being recalled, and hasn't looked at all out of place. The Devils will have to watch him closely.
- One reason the Flames own such a good record to this point is the play of their goaltending. Jonas Hiller and Karri Ramo both got off to excellent starts, but Ramo, and to a lesser extent Hiller, are starting to cool off a bit. Ramo and his .903SV% are getting the nod in goal tonight, so the Devils are catching a bit of a break there.
- Mike Cammalleri will go against his old team for the 1st time since signing with the Devils. He's been a very good fit thus far and will surely be looking to stick it to his old team tonight. Cammalleri has been a regular contributor producing 11 points in 14 games, but he's now gone three straight without recording a point. Now would be a good time to snap that streak.
- New Jersey's penalty kill is a perfect 20-for-20 since Bryce Salvador went down with injury. If that streak continues the Devils should have a good chance to win.
