Ottawa has scored 17 goals in its last four games. One of these games was a 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils eight days ago.

The Devils have been a much higher scoring team than anticipated. They've gone over the total in five of their last seven games. The Devils had a season-high 46 shots in their 5-4 win against the Senators.

Cory Schneider isn't ready yet to play, so backup goalie Keith Kinkaid will be in net for New Jersey.
