The team that doesn't sleep continues to roll, and today they're in Texas for a nooner with the Stars. First meeting of the season between these teams, who will play their 4th game against each other by the end of March.
Tonight, the New Jersey Devils played a very competitive game against the Vancouver Canucks but lost 2-1. In this recap, I explain that the Devils just didn't get the bounces or looks past Cory Schneider despite efforts, Doc Emrick's ceremony, which Devil line was dominant, and other thoughts on the game as a whole.
One night after a fierce battle that saw them snap Detroit's vaunted home winning streak, the Canucks are back at it in Jersey to take on the Devils. No rest for the wicked, eh?

Tonight, the New Jersey Devils will host the Vancouver Canucks after honoring Dr. Mike Emrick prior to the game. This preview goes over how excellent the Canucks and why now is a good time as any for the Devils to face them among other thoughts.
