With their 8-2 win over Boston on Tuesday night, the Montreal Canadiens continued their complete domination of the Bruins; 6-0-0 this season, nine wins in a row total. The New Jersey Devils are a whole other story though, winning their last nine games against the Habs. Martin Brodeur, who will start tomorrow night, has a 5-0-0 record against Montreal in his past five starts with a – get this – 0.79 goals against average.
Montreal sits only 6 points back of Northeast Division leader Ottawa with a game in hand, so now is the time to break this nasty streak. The Devils are currently leading their division with 59 points and they are coming off of a big win of their own, 7-3 over Philadelpia on Tuesday, so the offensive onslaught is likely to conintue, leaving the game in the hands of Brodeur and Christobal Huet.
