• Devils Host Sabres Tonight, Begin Second Half of Season-

  The New Jersey Devils definitely slept well last night.  Even though they lost to Boston on Jan. 5, they looked at the standings and realized they remained in first place.  Despite injuries and offseason departures, they have managed to hold down the fort for the first half of the 2007-08 campaign.  They have done so with timely scoring, superior goaltending, and the addition of some new arrivals.

• Rolling Into the NHL-

• Devils Poor On Shots In Weekes' Rare Start-

  After the New Jersey Devils' 45th shot on net tonight, the final buzzer rang, and both teams were definitely exhausted.  Unfortunately, goaltender Kevin Weekes, who spelled Martin Brodeur in net for the first time since Dec. 10, seemed uncoordinated, and allowed three first-period goals in the Devils' first loss in a week.

• Kevin Weekes, Welcome to New Jersey-

  Kevin Weekes, Welcome to New Jersey, the Garden State.  It is time to give the Devils organization some credit, not a lot, but enough for signing a reliable backup to Martin Brodeur in the offseason.

• Off Season Transactions- With less than three months until opening night, the New Jersey Devils resigned their top scorer from last season Zach Parise( 31 goals). Son of JP, a former Minnesota North Stars Captain, Zach excelled in many facets this past season.  At 4 years and 12.5 million dollars, the restricted free agent was a steal compared to the massive overpaid contracts.
  
• Devils Still Looking Good Despite Loss...-

  I was fortunate enough to attend last night’s contest at Madison Square Garden between the New Jersey Devils and their arch-rival New York Rangers.  By now, any genuine Devils fan or supporter knows that the Rangers won 1-0 in overtime.  I still feel the Devils looked impressive despite not

• Sutter Rest Brodeur... Weekes to Start Tonight- NJ Devils reserve goaltender got the nod from head coach Brent Sutter this morning indicating that he will be starting tonight's contest against Washington.  Like the Vick sentencing, this came as no surprise.
  
  Weekes has been an efficient backup to Martin Brodeur but has not started in nearly a month.
  
• NJ Devils Television and Radio Update for Tonight's Game- The New Jersey Devils are playing on FSN NY tonight against the Washington Capitals and the game can be heard on WFAN 660 AM.  For those fans in the D.C. area, the game is televised locally on CSN-DC (HD).  As I mentioned earlier, I will elaborate on the team's tv and radio schedule before games to prevent any cable problems.
• Devils Lose in Overtime, End Unbeaten Streak at Nine Games-

  The stakes were simple: The New Jersey Devils were trying to extend their unbeaten streak to a season-high 10 games and the NY Rangers were looking to end a three-game losing slump.
  
  In the end, Brendon Shanahan's one-timer beat Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur 30 seconds into overtime, and reversed both trends for the time being.
