The Devils have gone 0-6-4 in their past ten, virtually knocking them out of the 2013 playoff race.

TV: NBCSN
Radio: 970 AM
Match-Up
The New Jersey Devils (15-14-10) will play host to the Boston Bruins (25-9-4) tonight for third and final meeting of the season. This is the second game between these teams in the last week. Last Thursday, the Devils shipped up to Boston in a game that saw the Devils throw everything but the kitchen sink at Tuukka Rask, but he stopped all 40 shots. Jaromir Jagr would score in his debut as a Bruin, and the Devils would fall 1-0. These are two teams headed in different directions, as Boston is fighting to win the Northeast Division, and New Jersey is fighting to keep its playoffs hopes alive.

Game Time: 7:30 PM
TV: MSG+
Radio: Bloomberg 1130 AM
Match-Up
The New Jersey Devils (15-11-8) visit the Florida Panthers (10-19-6) for the first and only time this season, and for the first time since Henrique’s double OT goal sent them packing in last year’s playoffs. This is the second game between these two in the last week, as the Panthers visited Newark in a 2-1 win for the Devils. Jersey’s team will be hoping their effort will turn into more positive results, as their last two games have been shootout losses. The Panthers, whose playoff hopes have been long gone, will surely be up for this one as they would love to avenge not only the loss earlier in the week, but get some sort of revenge against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year.

The previous two meetings between the teams were split, with the Devils winning the first game 4-2, and the Lightning taking the second contest 5-2. The Devils will look to bounce back from a 3-2 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators, while the Lightning will look to continue their strong play at home.

MATCH-UP
The Devils are heading down to Carolina for their third and last match up with the Hurricanes. Carolina has two wins over New Jersey and we’re all hoping the Devils don’t get swept up tonight.

Match-Up
The Devils (10-8-5) are desperate for a win, as they face-off against the Buffalo Sabres (9-13-2) for the second time in less than a week. Last Saturday, the Devils fell to the Sabres 4-3 in a shootout, in a game that featured a fair amount of trash-talking from both sides, most prominent being Adam Henrique and Ryan Miller jawing after the shootout. The Devils will look for revenge at the Prudential Center on Thursday night, but more importantly, will be looking to end their recent 6-game skid (0-5-1) and avoid their first 7-game losing streak since 1986.
