It will be Johan Hedberg in net for the Devils tonight against the Rangers with Jeff Frazee as the backup. The Devils will seek their first home win of the season tonight and the Rangers could be a nice opponent. Henrik Lundqvist will start for the Blue Shirts. Brodeur is still feeling some discomfort in his bruised elbow despite saying he was going to play tonight against the Rangers.
Anton Volchenkov will make his return to the Devils line-up from a broken nose and stiff neck. Volchenkov also said, he might have had a mild concussion. Colin White will not play tonight due to a flu, so Alexander Urbom was called up from Albany. Stephen Gionta or Patrick Davis will play tonight, but it is not yet been decided, but indications are that Gionta will go. He has inherited #14, the same number his brother Brian wore with the Devils, before bolting for Montreal in Summer 2009. Brian Gionta is now the captain of the Montreal Canadiens.

Zach Parise, who is out for 3 months has hired Wade Arnott as his agent, with Don Meehan as an assistant agent. Arnott is the primary agent and will represent him in contract talks, while Meehan will help. Wade is also the brother of Devils center Jason Arnott. Both agents recommended the Cleveland Clinic for Parise's knee surgery. It might very well be possible that the Devils will engage in discussions for a new contract extension for Zach, while he remains sidelined, but the team has to sort their salary cap problems out first.
