Tomorrow's game between the Devils and Bruins will feature two teams coming off being shutout in their previous games. The Devils are yet to beat the Bruins this season and have been outscored 14-5 and 10-2 at home. It will be their final meeting of the season between each other and one more chance for the Devils to finally be able to solve them. Martin Brodeur will start tomorrow night, while Johan Hedberg will start Friday in Washington.
After three straight struggling offensive efforts, coach Peter DeBoer shook up his lines. He kept his top line of Parise, Henrique and Kovalchuk together, while putting Josefson on a line with Ponikarovsky and Clarkson. He moved Zubrus up to the Elias and Sykora line to get that line going. Steve Bernier is on the 4th line with Boulton and Carter.

Devils Defenseman Henrik Tallinder was supposed to return to action in 2-3 weeks, but now it apparently looks like he will miss the rest of the regular season and early playoffs. In an interview with Rich Chere of the Newark Star Ledger, Tallinder said he feels good health wise, but it still feeling week in his lower left leg with the blood clot. He is yet to finish his mdeication cycle, so only then will he know whether he can play. The Devils might play it safe and shut him down for the rest of the year. However, his return this season is still a huge question mark.
