The New Jersey Devils (14-9-7) will host the Canadiens at the Prudential Center. The two teams have met twice and both games finishing 1-1.


The first period ends scoreless and that should not come by much of a surprise considering the first 2 games were 1-1 ties. The shots were 9-6 for the Devils.


Both goalies continue to put goose eggs up in the 2nd period. The shots are now 14-13 for the Devils but the score remains 0-0.


Montreal does get on the board first, RD Rinat Sadriyev gets his 2nd banging in a rebound of a C Dean Casey shot at 4:03 and Montreal leads 1-0. By the 15th minute of the 3rd, it is all Montreal now out shooting the Devils 10-2 in the period. Montreal puts it out to reach with RW Robert Cull's goal via a LD Anthony Reynolds feed for his 5th of the season at 19:47. Montreal wins with the final shots 26-17 for the Habs. G Bill Wolfenbarger makes 17 saves for the shut out.
