One last game before the break, folks. If the Devils were planning on entering the break with a win under their belts, I bet they were pretty stoked when they realized Montreal would be the opponent.

Thanks in large part to Martin Brodeur, the Devils have completely dominated the Montreal Canadiens over the last decade or so. Through 51 career games against the Habs, Mr. Brodeur has amassed a heart-burn-inducing record of 34-12-0 including five ties, eight shutouts, and a measly 1.76 GAA - which also happened to be my grade-point average throughout college. Dude should have a Ph.D. in ownage.

The Canadiens, hot off their ninth consecutive victory, will square off with a Devils team that has nine consecutive victories of their own against those very same Canadiens. Although the head-to-head record is quite lopsided, the Habs have put together a pretty impressive season. Montreal only carries one less point than New Jersey into the contest, as they currently sit in the second seed in the Northwest Division.

Scoreboard-watching will once again be a game-within-the-game for the Devils, as tonight will see all five Atlantic Division teams hit the ice, two of which head-to-head as Philadelphia takes on Pittsburgh. The tightest Division in hockey, the Atlantic separates five teams by only seven points. The Devils continue to pave the way, while the Rangers have the farthest journey ahead of them.

Some encouraging news for the Devils blueline today, as it has been announced that Defensemen Andy Greene has a “50-50″ chance of returning to action tonight. If Greene gives the thumbs-up, Brent Sutter will likely go with seven defensemen in tonight’s lineup. John Madden will also be a go tonight, although he has admitted to looking forward to the all-star break to give his lacerated ankle some recovery time. Even if Madden has been ailing, his presence has been nothing short of monstrous in the Devils last two contests.

Amidst all the hype, there is a very important game to be played tonight, so Yours Truly will be live-capping every slapshot, kick-save, and David Clarkson wrap-a-round attempt right here at 2ManAdvantage! It’s a game the Devils should win, which absolutely scares the bejesus out of me.

Tune in just prior to puck drop for any last minute notes, ramblings, and beer requests!
