| | | NEW JERSEY: LAST SEASON: 32-36-14, 78 points. Failed to make the playoffs
for a third straight year.
COACH: John Hynes (first NHL season)
ADDED: C Kyle Palmieri, C Pavel Zacha, RW Lee Stempniak, C
Sergey Kalinin, D John Moore, C Jiri Tlusty.
LOST: General manager Lou Lamoriello, F Steve Bernier, F Scott
Gomez, F Michael Ryder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Adam Henrique: At age 25, Henrique is no longer
the young kid. He's become the face of the Devils' franchise and
a team leader. He was the team's leading scorer with a paltry 43
points. He's coming off wrist surgery, but says he's fine.
Whether that means he's ready to gain All-Star status is another
thing.
OUTLOOK: The Devils cleaned out the Lamoriello era and brought
in Ray Shero to be the general manager and an unproven Hynes to
be the head coach. However, they really didn't do much to their
roster, especially in terms of finding a goal scorer or two.
Mike Cammalleri's 27 goals were nice last year, but there were
too many times that the team depended on goalkeeper Cory
Schneider to keep them in games. Hynes said that his new
philosophy will lead to more scoring chances, but that remains
to be seen. Even he admits it's "a work in progress." But this
doesn't have the look and feel of a playoff team. The Devils
will likely make it four straight years without a playoff
appearance, an unfathomable idea for a franchise that went to
the playoffs 16 straight years. | | MONTREAL: MONTREAL CANADIENS
LAST SEASON: 50-22-10, 110 points. Won Atlantic Division. Lost
to Tampa Bay Lightning in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Michel Therrien, 11th NHL season,
ADDED: D Mark Barberio, RW Zack Kassian, RW Alex Semin.
LOST: D Sergei Gonchar, C Manny Malhotra, RW P.A. Parenteau, LW
Brandon Prust, D Mike Weaver.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Semin. Despite finishing a mere three
points behind the New York Rangers for the Presidents' Trophy,
Montreal was not an offensive powerhouse in 2014-15. The
Canadiens finished last season having scored 214 goals, an
average of 2.61 per game, and their power play ranked 23rd in
the NHL. Semin, signed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract will
be asked to do more in Montreal after scoring just six goals in
57 games last season with Carolina.
OUTLOOK: Montreal and its deep roster with standout goaltender
Carey Price should make another run in the playoffs - maybe even
a deep run. All Price accomplished in 2014-15 was to lead the
NHL in save percentage (.933), goals-against average (1.96) and
wins (44), earning the Hart Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award, Vezina
Trophy and Jennings Trophy in the process. |
| | Devils-Canadiens Preview By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
The Montreal Canadiens have won all six of their meetings with teams from the New York Metropolitan Area. They'll try to make it two in two days as they go for a sweep of a home-and-home series with the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Montreal (18-4-2) owns the most points in the league and beating teams from the New York/New Jersey area has certainly helped. The Canadiens have won three meetings with the New York Islanders, two against the New York Rangers and one with the Devils (11-9-2). That success, which includes scoring 4.0 goals per game, has also spurred a four-game winning streak. The Canadiens swept a home-and-home set with the Islanders last weekend before beating the Rangers 5-1 on Wednesday and winning 3-2 in a shootout at New Jersey two days later. Sven Andrighetto and Alex Galchenyuk scored to erase a two-goal deficit in regulation, and they were the only Canadiens to find the net in the shootout. "We never give up," said Andrighetto, who has two goals in three games since being recalled from St. John's of the AHL. "It shows we kept pushing and we all believed. We all pulled in the same direction with the bad start we had." Galchenyuk has goals in three straight games after scoring twice through the first 21. Montreal, though, will again have to overcome the absence of Carey Price, who is out with a nagging lower-body injury that forced him to miss nine games - eight this month. It's unclear if Mike Condon will get the nod again after making 25 saves and turning aside four of five shootout attempts Friday. "This is huge," said Condon, who is 8-2-2 with a 2.14 goals-against average in 13 games. "Anytime you get a win it's huge. It's not about one guy." If Condon is rested, the Canadiens would start Dustin Tokarski, who was recalled from St. John's on Thursday. He allowed two goals on 13 shots after replacing an ineffective Condon in a 6-1 loss to Colorado on Nov. 14. Tokarski, who was 2-2-2 with a 3.45 GAA in six games in the minors, had 16 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss at New Jersey on April 3. The Devils have followed a 10-3-0 stretch by losing four of five despite Cory Schneider's 2.24 GAA while going 1-2-1. He made 25 saves before stopping three shootout attempts Friday. "I think if you really look at the game, Schneider made some unbelievable saves and we could have been down," rookie coach John Hynes said. "That's a high-end offensive team." Schneider didn't get the start in New Jersey's only set of games on back-to-back days, which were the first two of the season. That could change this time since backup Keith Kincaid is 1-3-0 with a 3.04 GAA in four starts. He had 38 saves in a 6-2 loss at Montreal on Feb. 7. Adam Henrique leads the Devils with 11 goals, scoring one in each of the last three games. That's a welcome change after he had two over the previous 11. He's only scored once in five visits to Montreal. Mike Cammalleri has nine points over the last six games and three in his last four against Montreal. |
