PRE-GAME REPORT

MONTREAL, PQ - The Devils are in Montreal to take on the Canadiens for the second time this month. The first meeting, on Nov. 16, resulted in a 4-3 overtime victory for New Jersey on the road.
The Devils will tweak their lineup a bit ahead of this one.
Pavel Zacha has sat out as a healthy scratch since a loss to Pittsburgh on Nov. 22, missing two games.
Zacha is returning to action tonight on the fourth line with Miles Wood and Jesper Bratt. He says he just wants to focus on his own game as he looks to make improvements.
"Just play my game," Zacha said. "I think being two-way center and I get the opportunity to play and play with good players, so… keep getting better."
It's always difficult to not see your name in the lineup, but Zacha is ready to get back after it.
"It's hard. I mean, the only thing you can do is practice hard and wait until you get back in the lineup. That's what I tried to do."
Zacha, as mentioned above, is back in as well as Jesper Bratt. Both will return to game action versus Montreal. John Hayden and Brett Seney will sit out.
Lines:
Hall-Hischier-Palmieri
Coleman-Zajac-Gusev
