NYI Fan Central Comments:
Boston comes into this game off a 3-1win against Montreal at home despite their long list of injuries. Their record speaks for itself combined with a very impressive display they put on against the Islanders in Boston where they took a one goal game and just beat the Islanders in every aspect.

Danis, MacDonald, DiPietro, Dubielewicz, Sanford or Bill Smith (who will actually dress for a charity game Thursday notwithstanding) unless the Islanders play some solid team defense and finish some plays here this has the potential to get ugly.

Claude Julien's team never stops working and despite being a coach for several organizations has this Devils trend of getting the most out of his roster regardless who is dressed.

I will add in late changes when/if I can during the afternoon.
