– Devils captain Zach Parise following his club’s victory Monday over the Lightning, via the Star-Ledger

Why last night rocked:
- New Jersey over Tampa Bay, 5-4 (REG)
Why last night jonesed:
- Um, Devils took two points in only game of the evening
Why tonight is a Big Deal:
Cannot underestimate NJ’s concrete desire to win a “Statement Game” of their own in Sunrise following a ridiculous three-goal collapse in November; lots of conference movement on tap
- Carolina at Toronto, 7 p.m.
- Philadelphia at Washington, 7
- Los Angeles (and new interim-er John Stevens) at Boston, 7
- Ottawa at Buffalo, 7
- Dallas at the Rangers, 7
- Detroit at Pittsburgh, 7
- Islanders at Montreal, 7:30
- Minnesota at Winnipeg, 8:30
Next up for the Cats:
- Tonight vs New Jersey; Preview around 3ish, LBC Game Thread at 7. Check out our buds at In Lou We Trust as well.
