* Both Pittsburgh and New Jersey are coming off of games in which the team was shutout. The Pens were blanked by Toronto, while the Devils couldn't find the back of the net against NY Islanders.
* The Pens went 4-0 on their recent Canadian road trip. But ever since returning, the team has gone 0-2-1. Pittsburgh has lost 3 straight at home as well (0-2-1). Pittsburgh has never lost 4 straight home games under head coach Mike Sullivan.
* Evgeni Malkin's 9-game scoring streak ended against Toronto, but he still ranks 4th in the NHL with 20 points (7G-13A).
* New Jersey has lost 3 straight games, and is 1-5-1 in its past 7 contests.
* The Devils are in the midst of a 7-game road trip. This is the 4th contest of that stretch.
