Tonight: Jets at Devils

Posted: 3:00 AM CDT Friday, Oct. 9, 2015 Last Modified: 9:16 AM CDT Friday, Oct. 9, 2015 | Updates

ABOUT THE DEVILS The Jets were the opponent for the Bruins home opener and do the same tonight for the Devils at the Prudential Center. The Devils are 19-8-5 in season-openers all-time and 17-9-6 in home-openers. New Jersey was 32-36-14 last season, good for just 78 points and 13th place in the Eastern Conference. They have not qualified for the playoffs in the last three seasons. Former Jet Lee Stempniak is working on the right side of the Devils top line, along with Winnipeg product Travis Zajac and Mike Cammalleri. This is the debut for new Devils head coach John Hynes, who spent the last six years with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the AHL, including five as head coach. During his time as boss the Penguins posted five consecutive 40-win campaigns. The Devils are 31-16-8 all time, including 16-8-4 at home, vs. the Jets/Thrashers franchise. The Jets likely won't have to face Patrik Elias tonight, and he's been a killer against Winnipeg with six goals in 11 games since 2011-12. WINNIPEG JETS 31 Ondrej Pavelec
