The Devils have been idle since Sunday when they lost 6-1 to the Penguins at home. They are anxious to get back to action and redeem themselves. A strong effort should be forthcoming.

San Jose returns home after posting a pair of road victories defeating Calgary and Edmonton. This is the Sharks' third game in four days. They have a marquee matchup up next hosting Washington on Saturday.

The Sharks have the most road victories in the NHL, but are just 12-14-3 at home.

The Devils are expected to get injured defenseman David Warsofsky back for this game and will be starting Keith Kinkaid in goal. The Sharks have never faced Kinkaid before.
