    Look for the Devils to come away victorious Friday when they travel to Carolina to take on the Hurricanes.

    This line is from Pinnacle and is from the NHL OT Included Hockey in the dropdown menu. This means that we are playing our team on the money line and that if the game does go to overtime we are graded based on the overtime result. If it is still tied after overtime and goes to a shootout we are graded based on the shootout result. In other words there will be no pushes (or ties).

    All of our plays this season will be based on NHL OT Included Hockey (similar to what is offered at Pinnacle).

    The Devils were eliminated from the playoffs in just five games by the Hurricanes last season. Similar to how Buffalo exacted revenge in Carolina on Wednesday night, we look for New Jersey to do the same thing on Friday night. The Hurricanes played better than we expected in Game 1 of the season as they have lost some key players from last year's championship club. However, ultimately goaltender Cam Ward was unable to get the job done in the shootout and that was the key difference.

    Just like we felt like we had an advantage with the Sabres netminder Ryan Miller on Wednesday night, we feel the Friday night advantage also lies with the goaltender. Devils goalie Marty Broduer is still one of the best in the game and he and all the Devils are fired up about getting this season off to a great start.

    The Devils finished last season strong as they rallied to win the Atlantic Division with a solid winning streak at the end of the season. New Jersey then dominated the first round of the playoffs before running into the solid Hurricanes in round two. That bitter playoff loss has lingered with the Devils all summer long and they now get a chance to atone for it tonight. Look for them to do just that.

    Play: Devils +110
