GAME NOTES

  • Last year in the preseason, the Devils won all seven games, while this year they’re still looking for their first victory.
  • With this game being the final game before the NHL roster (plus three extras) depart for Prague, expectations are it will be very close to what the team’s opening-night lineup might look like.
