3/2 Preview: Devils vs Toronto

So tonight the Devils face the Toronto Maple Leafs for the 3rd time this season.

The first time they faced each other this season was 10/12 (my birthday!!) @ CAA. Devils won, 7-6 in a shoot out with goals from: John Madden (2), Sergei Brylin (1) and Brian Gionta (3) and assists from Jay Panfolfo (Madden (2)), Sergei Brylin (Madden), Colin White (Madden), Paul Martin (Brylin, Gionta), Madden (Brylin), Brian Rafalski (Gionta), Patrik Elias (Gionta), Scott Gomez (Gionta (2)), and Jamie Langenbrunner (Gionta). Brian Gionta and John Madden both scored in the shoot out.

Second time was 11/18. Devils won again with goals from Jamie Langenbrunner and Patrik Elias and assists from Zach Parise (Langenbrunner), Colin White (Langenbrunner), and Brian Gionta (Elias).

Gionta (who, sadly, most likely isnt playing tonight) leads the Devils against Toronto with 3g and 1a.


My take: Even without Gionta, I think the Devils have a good chance of winning, as long as Brdoeur and the rest of the team are as awesome as usual.
