Devils go for season sweep of Hurricanes

Feb 26, 2008 - 1:17 PM New Jersey (37-21-5) at Carolina (32-28-5) 7:00 pm EST

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) - The New Jersey Devils have enjoyed playing the Carolina Hurricanes this season.

Martin Brodeur and the Devils will look for the season sweep when they visit the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

New Jersey, which owns the best record in the Eastern Conference, has outscored Carolina by a 15-3 margin in their three previous meetings this season.

In their most recent meeting, Travis Zajac scored a goal and set up another and Brodeur made 21 saves in the Devils' 5-1 triumph on February 18.

Brodeur has stopped 66 of 69 shots faced against the Hurricanes this season and is 31-12-5 career against them, with a 2.06 goals-against average and six shutouts.

Carolina, which has yielded a conference-worst 207 goals, is looking for its third straight win. The Southeast Division leaders got two tallies from Matt Cullen in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Washington Capitals.

The Devils have won eight of their last nine regular season meetings with the Hurricanes, but Carolina did win a playoff series between the teams during that stretch.
