9:44 Devils lose 4-1... recap in a few moments... bear with us

9:28 tv timeout... Devils fans head to the exits, who can blame them? the Devs have one goal on 29 shots and refuse to score... it's not in their game plan I guess...

9:25 3-1 Ottawa.... it's gonna be a long season for the Devils if they continue to not take advantage of power plays, breakaways, rare short-handed chances, and maybe get the refs attention instead of getting every call against them

9:23 Devils are short a man... crap call by refs on Vishnevski...must kill PP, then score (something the Devils were seemingly familiar with until they faced the Rangers on Thursday night)

9:18p.m. and 9:23 remaining as the Devils need a second goal to tie the score, which should still be 1-1 after witnessing the Sens illegal play in the Devs zone... I would not blame the refs but the Sens slash of Oduya resulted in their game-changing goal... go figure

9:14 Frustrating sequence of event as Sens take 2-1 lead on letdown in Devils defensive zone... Johny Oduya's stick was chopped/ a slash should have been called by the refs prior to the Sens second goal

9:06 Sorry I was attempting to see the Red Sox score, watch a little bit of Old School, and catch a glimpse of the Ohio St. football game as well... I am back for the remainder of the cotnest... the last 16 minutes

8:42 Brodeur is still dominating, Devils kill of the PP, maybe Elias will learn how to score a goal... maybe

8:40 Andy Greene sits for two minutes for his extra jab in the scruff in front of Martin Brodeur... we cannot afford another power play goal... Jay Pandolfo almost scores a SH... that was close to a 2-1 Devs lead... but no cigar

8:37 mini scruff breaks out... Chants of D-E-V-I-L-S resonate in the building... the fans are trying to get the Devils pumped up...

8:35 Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Devils catch a break as Gionta's shot hits a skate in front and the Devils tie the game at 1-1

8:32 Devils get a chance at redemption as Sergei Brylin is slashed... let's see the Devils have not scored in the last 104+ minutes

8:28 Brodeur is huge, Devils clear... passed half way mark of penalty kill and game... Devils lead in shots on goal, 22-12, but Sens lead in score.... which matters most

8:27 Devils are called for their first penalty... the second period is definitely favoring the Sens, and killing Travis Zajac's penalty is huge to the game's outcome

8:20 Sens take a 1-0 lead on what looked like a deflection by Chris Neil on a Andrej Meszaros shot from the point

8:15 Devils need to generate a shot on their PP and not allow two two-on-one short handed plays

8:13 Devils have their first power play chance after Dany Heatley interferes with David Clarkson... the Devils need to overcome 0-17 streak in their previous three games

8:13 The New Jersey Devils officially completed period No. 1 of Prudential Center.  They generated several offensive chances, held the Sens off the scoreboards, but had nothing to show for it.  I am on edge watching this contest, like the thousands of fans scattered along the Rock.  The Devils’ second period efforts might make or break this game.  The score is knotted at 0-0 and the next goal will impact the game and fans.
7:55- Devils outshot the Sens 18-5 in the first period, had many somewhat good chances to score... but cannot find the net... need to keep the momentum strong for the second period

7:50- still 0-0... I can feel a goal so badly... 1:15 remaining in the first period...

7:42 0-0.... quantity over quality tonight... many shots for the Devils in hopes of finding the loose puck

7:33- fans are rather quiet... could be from watching the Rutgers football game today (which I unfortunately attended in the pouring rain and 31-3 defeat courtesy of conference rival West Virginia)

7:27- three or four Devils have fallen on the new ice... jeez- im getting nervous

7:26 the new arena has a sick video camera showing us a new angle from atop (underneath the humongous titrantron)

7:25 Oduya- hold onto your stick you moron

7:24 Martin Gerber is in net for the Sens... the same goaltender who beat the Devs 4-2 earlier in the season... the Devils need the first goal tonight

7:22 the game is finally underway... after a very nice ceremony, which had its groundbreaking Thursday before Bon Jovi's concert

7:19 national anthems for Canada and the United States of A...Emmy Rossum is smoking, what a fox...the Devils fans are excited about the new arena... hopefully, the players are just as enthusiastic... and the fans actually showed up because they turn the train (approximately 46% according to survery on njdevs.com)

7:12 here's another change to tonight's game... maybe Elias, Zubrus, Gionta, and the Devils will score a few goals, d-up on the Sens top line (arguably the best in the league)...

7:11 The Devils introduce their team... I like this new PA guy... I already hear the fans applauding every player's name... just cannot wait for Brodeur to enter the ice

7:08 As Dave Chapelle says, "Let's start the show!" I am so excited about live blogging the Devils first ever home game in their new arena.......... WOOHOO!!!! Which also reminds me... why am I sitting in an uncomfortable leather chair from Staples Inc. blogging a game I should be attending? Let's focus on the Devils please. Thanks.

7:04 I forgot to mention a few important changes to tonight's game...

Kevin Clark, new PA announcer- does that mean a new goal horn? I sure hope so (olay gotta go, this is not soccer)- nice, zombie nation... now, the devils need to score to utlize their new horn...

Tom Guliti has the Devils expected lines for tonight as always:

Tonight's expected line combinations and defense pairs (based on the morning skate):

Forwards: Elias-Zajac-Zubrus; Brylin-Parise-Gionta; Pandolfo-Madden-Clarkson; Rupp-Pelley-Asham.

Defense: Oduya-Martin; Greene-Rachunek; Vishnevski-Brookbank.

I pray that the defense can step up tonight, as they have been struggling to keep the puck of the net

7:03- Doc and Chico are hosting the game from one of the lounges in the Prudential Center... niceness

7:00- do you know where you children are? just kidding... the Devils pregame ceremony is coming to a close... I love Doc Emrick and Chico Resch....wonderful tv announcers

6:59 p.m. Commercial... boring!
