Ottawa Senators at New Jersey Devils, Nov 25, 2009 7:00 PM EST
Despite being on a four game winning streak, the Senators are a bruised and battered team right now. They are currently missing Anton Volchenkov, Alex Kovalev, Mike Fisher, Pascal Leclaire, and Shean Donovan, and will have to make due with a significantly altered line-up. But hey, that's not much of an excuse because the Devils, like all NHL teams right now, have injury problems of their own (Paul Martin, Jay Pandolfo, Rob Niedermeyer, Danius Zubrus, Johnny Oduya).
The teams met earlier this season, and Ottawa blew a two-goal lead to end up losing 3-2. In fact, dating back to 07-08, New Jersey has won seven straight against the Sens. They've also won their last four at home (much like the Sens), but are coming off a 0-2-1 road trip. Here are the players to watch tonight:
- Jason Spezza - Spezza looked like a different player last game, and I don't mean it in a good way. He was hardly noticeable (except for missing a 2-on-1 opportunity at the end), and looked to be battling that nagging injury again. Considering how many players the Sens are missing, Spezza is a guy who really has to perform tonight and carry this team on his frail back.
- Milan Michalek - The Sens are facing the best goaltender of the past decade, and the easiest way to slip it past him is likely to have Michalek take his new post in front of the net. His screen will be extremely important to the Sens' goal-scoring success.
- Filip Kuba - Kuba has been on a tear lately, with eight points in the past three games. Let's hope he keeps it up, as strong plays from the back end are what this team needs.
- Ryan Keller - He currently leads the AHL in goals, and this is his first NHL game. He starts on the fourth line, but don't be surprised if he moves up to the top six if playing well and the team needs a goal.
- Brian Elliott - This is his first start since finding out that he'll be the go-to guy in net for the indefinite future. He should handle the pressure fine - he did last season - but this is a big test for Elliott.
- Zach Parise - 12 points in a 7 game point streak. Chris Phillips needs to shut him down.
As always, come here before and after the puck drops for fun in the comments.

I have many times with my favourite being the 1-0 win against Buffalo to put them in the playoffs for the first time. Game 3 of the Finals is a close second. Toews OT winner 2 seasons ago is my third, as nobody expected Chicago to win that one.

Uh oh
NEWARK, N.J. — Sherry Ross is certainly no stranger to sports broadcasting, having served as a radio analyst alongside New Jersey Devils play-by-play man Matt Loughlin for the last two-plus seasons.
On Wednesday, however, she hopes to open a few new doors for aspiring female hockey broadcasters when she takes the mike to become the first woman broadcaster to provide play-by-play for a full 60-minute NHL game when the New Jersey Devils host to the Ottawa Senators at Prudential Center.
This is always death.

Shit or get off the pot, lady. You’ve made a name for yourself with your maiden name, why not just keep it that way? Especially if you’re in the media… short names are key.

No. He was cured of that, which got, not so coincidentally, while playing for the KHL during the lockout.

(And I’m totally not kidding about the toxic squirrel thing – a few years ago the state government released a warning to the public not to kill or eat the squirrels in northern New Jersey because they had been contaminated by toxic waste. I love my state.)

Yes, I was. And I appreciate your abstaining from that particular joke. The geographical location in which I was born and raised was chosen by my parents, not myself. I have no idea if this is because I grew up in a town practically right on the border between New Jersey and Pennsylvania (I could literally see the Delaware River from my high school), but I’m nothing like the bottle-blonde, faux tanned bimbos with bad accents who have become the stereotypical Jersey-girl. I’m an attractive, intelligent twenty-two-year-old woman. I don’t glow in the dark from overexposure to nuclear radiation. If anything, I’m probably just as hot if not hotter than any of the chicks out in Ottawa or wherever you or Mark Parisi are from. Don’t judge all of the residents of this state based on a small but vocal minority of the population.
Okay. I’ve stepped down from my soapbox now.

Oh, come on! You can’t use the toxic squirrels against us! It’s not our fault. Blame that on the companies that dumped their toxic waste in the water supply of woodland creatures. Besides, none of the Devils are actually from Jersey, they just live their during the season, and probably not anywhere near the toxic squirrels.
