Last night the New Jersey Devils got back in the win column with a shutout victory over the Ottawa Senators. Here are some notes on the game, and other Devils notes.

Former Thrashers Blank Sens: Kovy Scores #400
Hoping to rebound after a very disappointing showcasing of hockey in last nights defeat to the Hudson River rivals, New Jersey would conclude a back-to-back set of games with a visit to Canada's capital to play the Ottawa Senators.

Rangers and Devils spill over.
The Rangers and the Devils started out their game the other night and
the war of words has continued. I hope these two teams play each other

talent but to fight; can actually win a face off...
