Devils, Flyers battle for Atlantic Division supremacy

Jan 22, 2008 - 3:03 PM New Jersey (27-17-3) at Philadelphia (26-15-5) 7:00 pm EST

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The winner of Tuesday night's matchup between the New Jersey Devils and the Philadelphia Flyers will take over the top spot in the Atlantic Division standings.

The Flyers and Devils are tied for second place and are one point behind the division-leading Pittsburgh Penguins, who are playing without superstar captain Sidney Crosby.

New Jersey has allowed an NHL-low 108 goals this season but will be matched up against the league's hottest offensive team.

Philadelphia is 7-0-1 over its previous eight contests, with Scott Hartnell tallying 10 goals - including two hat tricks - in that span. He has 16 tallies and 28 points on the campaign.

The key to the Devils' defensive success this season is, as always, the stellar play of goaltender Martin Brodeur, who is 25-15-2 with a 2.10 goals-against average and five shutouts.

New Jersey's offense received a boost Sunday when John Madden returned from an injured ankle and scored two goals in a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
