"The Florida Panthers (3-2) will do battle with the New Jersey Devils (2-1) tonight at The Rock in Newark, marking the third tilt of five-game road trip that has gotten off to tough start for the two-time defending champions. Los Gatos could only muster up 21 shots and a single tally in a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings last night. Brad Marchand was the only lamp-lighter, halving the deficit with 4:55 remaining in the second period with a wrap-around goal after Anton Lundell won an offensive zone faceoff."
"After dropping its season-opener to the Carolina Hurricanes, the Devils posted back-to-back victories over the Tampa Bay Lightning and Columbus Blue Jackets to complete a three-game road trip with a winning record. Dawson Mercer scored twice to lift New Jersey to a 3-2 decision over the Blue Jackets on Monday. Number one keeper Jacob Markstrom is expected to miss a couple of weeks because of a lower-body injury, so veteran backup Jake Allen will get the call to man the pipes for tonight's home-opener."
