Devils hope to break out of slump against Lightning

Mar 22, 2007 - 3:31 PM New Jersey (43-22-8) at Tampa Bay (40-30-4) 7:30 pm EDT

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- The New Jersey Devils have seen their once commanding lead in the Atlantic Division shrink.

The slumping Devils hope to maintain their division lead Thursday when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning.

New Jersey entered the month of March with an 11-point division lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins (41-22-10). But the Devils have dropped six of their last nine contests to see their lead decrease to two.

The Devils have dropped two straight, including Tuesday's 2-1 loss at Toronto.

The Lightning have lost their grip on the Southeast Division, losing three of their last four contests to fall four points behind first-place Atlanta (39-25-10).

However, Tampa Bay figures to carry momentum from Tuesday's 4-3 overtime triumph over the New York Islanders.
