Slumping Devils aim get back on track
Mar 30, 2007 - 3:25 PM Philadelphia (21-44-11) at New Jersey (45-24-8) 7:30 pm EDTEAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- The New Jersey Devils are picking the wrong time to slump.
The Devils look to move into a tie atop the Atlantic Division on Friday when they meet the Philadelphia Flyers.
New Jersey has won just two of its last six games, falling two points Pittsburgh (45-23-10) in the Atlantic.
The Devils have five games remaining, including two contests against league-worst Philadelphia (21-44-11) while the Penguins have four remaining.
On Wednesday, the Devils endured a 4-3 loss at Eastern Conference-leading Buffalo. Scott Gomez, Paul Martin and Zach Parise scored for New Jersey, which has lost five straight home games.
The Flyers snapped a four-game skid with a surprising 5-1 rout of defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina (38-31-8) on Wednesday.
Jeff Carter scored twice while Martin Biron made 24 saves and improved to 5-5-1 with a 2.78 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage since being acquired from Buffalo at the February 27 trade deadline.
