New Jersey at Tampa Bay
The Devils are going to get used to the road early this season as they open with nine consecutive away games, including tonight's opener at Tampa Bay. The reason is the Devils' new arena (Prudential Center), which isn't set to open until October 27. The Devils also have a new coach in Brent Sutter. But that isn't really a new feeling as New Jersey has now had seven different coaches over the last 10 years despite making the playoffs in nine of those seasons. There are questions surrounding NJ's team after the losses of Scott Gomez and Brian Rafalski, but the Devils are once again set in net with Martin Brodeur back for his 15th season. Brodeur is 23-13-2 in regular season matchups against the Lightning with five shutouts and a 2.03 GAA. He makes the Devils a good underdog pick (+120) tonight according to Dunkel, which has New Jersey favored straight up by 1. Dunkel Pick: New Jersey (+120). Here are all of today's games.
