Game Four on the way! Our @DevilsMSGN coverage starts at 3 on MSGSN. Things I’m watching: 1. Defense: The top defensive pairs have been workhorses the last couple of games. 2. Unlikely heroes. Devils depth lines were good in OT. Can they create offense today.

Couple more thoughts on the #NJDevils  clinching: The playoffs are a culmination of the full body of work over 82 games. The Devils played well enough early in the year to absorb the bumpiness of the last couple of months.

The back-to-back in December between these two teams was nasty. Two clubs that don’t like each other. This series could have some serious snarl.
