Devils face Hurricanes in battle of division leaders

Jan 10, 2008 - 1:33 PM New Jersey (24-15-3) at Carolina (22-19-4) 7:00 pm EST

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) - Martin Brodeur looks to continue dominating in net when the New Jersey Devils visit the Carolina Hurricanes in a battle of division leaders on Thursday.

The Devils goaltender is 6-1-0 with a 1.26 goals-against average in his last seven starts, allowing one goal or less in five of those contests.

Another strong performance can help the Devils get to a season-high 10 games over .500 as New Jersey is clinging to a one-point lead over Pittsburgh (24-16-2) in the Atlantic Division.

Carolina is coming off a 1-0 victory in Boston on Tuesday - just its second win in six games. Despite the recent struggles, the Hurricanes still lead Atlanta (21-22-1) by five points in the Southeast Division.

Cam Ward made 19 saves for his third shutout of the season, while Eric Staal tallied the only goal on Tuesday. The 23-year-old center has scored a goal in seven of his last nine games and leads the team with 23 tallies.

It is the first meeting between the teams this season. New Jersey went 3-1-0 against Carolina last season.
