Devils seek to beat Canadiens for eighth straight time

Feb 14, 2007 - 3:44 PM Montreal (29-23-6) at New Jersey (34-16-6) 7:30 pm EST

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- Dominant home play and a stingy defense has helped the New Jersey Devils catapult to the top of the Atlantic Division.

The Devils seek to beat the Montreal Canadiens for the eighth consecutive time when the teams square off Wednesday.

New Jersey has taken all seven meetings against Montreal since the lockout and is 18-1-4 at home against the Canadiens since the 1994-1995 campaign.

New Jersey is 20-5-4 at home and has a seven-point lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Thanks to two-time Vezina Trophy winner Martin Brodeur, the Devils lead the league in fewest goals allowed (133).

After winning four games in a row, New Jersey suffered a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Scott Gomez netted his 10th goal for the Devils, who are 15-3-3 in their last 21 contests.

Not even a nearly 30-minute players-only meeting after Saturday's loss to the Ottawa Senators could help the Canadiens out of their recent slide.

Montreal failed to score on 24 shots against Ed Belfour and lost for the sixth time in seven outings with Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Florida Panthers.
