PRE-GAME STORY

DETROIT, MI. -The Devils look to rebound from last night's disappointing loss to the Washington Capitals but to do so they'll have to completely commit to fixing their puck management errors.
"Manage the puck," said Head Coach Lindy Ruff. "I mean, it's nothing more than manage the puck. Support the guy with the puck and manage it. Simple as that."
BACK TO FOUR LINES
The Devils experiment of 11 forwards and seven defensemen seems over for the time being. It was part of their success during their three-game win streak but following the loss to Washington it's back to the basics.
"Up front, we're gonna go back to four lines," said Ruff. "We've got a couple players who are gametime decisions so we'll look at where we're at after warmups."
GETTING THE FINISH GOING
The Devils have been lighting up the shot counter but haven't converted on all of their Grade A chances so far this season. For Ruff, it's about sticking with what's working and hopefully the floodgates will open.
"You continue to do the right things, to get the puck to the right place, create the right opportunities, and they'll go in," said Ruff. "Eventually, they'll go in. And when they go in, all of a sudden the player will score five in six games. I have all the faith that they will."
