Here it Goes Again

Round 2 of the always entertaining drama between the Rangers and the Devils kicks off tonight a 7 at good ol' Madison Square Garden.

Recent trends suggest that the Devils are in for another long night with their cross river rivals, but tonight they look to buck that notion.

Fresh off Martin Brodeur's 102nd career shutout, the Devils are still looking to get a complete 60 minutes of work out of their entire team.

Travis Zajac and Zach Parise have provided nearly all of the team's offense, with a few chip-ins from Rob Neidermayer, Jamie Langenbrunner, and David Clarkson (yes, you did read that right.) Dainus Zubrus, while still goalless on the year, has done more than his share on the defensive side of the puck. But the rest of the team is in dire need of contribution.

Brian Rolston is in dire need of getting his offensive game going. He's making $5.3 million per season and currently has a mere 1 goal on this now 7 game season.

Hopefully, the Devils can snap the dominance which Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers have over them as of late.

Only time will tell.
