After an overtime loss to Seattle ended the winning streak, the Devils look to find more success at The Rock.

Seven players on the Penguins have 10 or more goals — and six of them are in the expected top six tonight. I think the second pairing of Brian Dumoulin and Mark Friedman is the pairing the Devils should have the most success against — I do not really view them as a second pair-caliber partnership. If the Devils play their best group of centers, they should eat Pittsburgh bottom six alive. This was the lineup the Pens used last night in the win vs OTT. These were the lines in that game: In their last ten home games, the Devils are 2-6-2, with their only wins coming against the Rangers on January 7 and the Blackhawks on December 6.

"I saw the shot behind the net, and I saw the puck was behind me, and I wasn't sure what to do," Vanecek said. I was just battling for the rebound." "We were coming off a good road trip (4-0-1), and this was the first of four games in six days," New Jersey coach Lindy Ruff said. "I was playing that rush so I kind of knew right away that it wasn't a legal play," Hamilton said. "It's seven wins, but I'm trying to not think about that coming into the game," Vanecek said. "It's pretty hard to score on a goalie from that far out, so I just tried to shoot as hard as I could, and happy it went in."

To single out any singular player feels kind of wrong when guys like Jeff Carter, Danton Heinen, and Kasperi Kapanen have not scored at the rate the Penguins ...

Somehow, the Penguins are going to need Blueger to generate some more offense. Surely, he is a solid penalty killer and bottom-six guy but the Penguins traded noted penalty-killer Zach Aston-Reese last season and their penalty kill hadn’t really missed a beat. [bookmark Inside the Penguins ](http://insidethepenguins.com/)for the latest news, exclusive interviews, breakdowns and so much more! However, players can be found from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and on the cheap in free agency - see Archibald, Josh - to fill that type of role. In recent seasons, they’ve had a handful of passengers and Blueger has been no exception to that this season. Management has privately expressed their frustration with his inability to get back to the level of play he was at prior to the injury. Blueger has 32 goals in 236 career NHL games so he isn’t lighting the lamp with any sort of rapid frequency across his career to date. For context, no other regular forward on the Penguins sits lower than 5.9% and that figure is from Danton Heinen…who hasn’t scored since October. That production could certainly be higher for a fourth line center but as the third line center? That is all fine and dandy and something the Penguins and head coach Mike Sullivan surely appreciate. The current four center alignment figures to be the new norm when they get their full complement back. If the top-six doesn’t produce, the Penguins have lost most nights.
