All eyes will be on Cory Schneider as the netminder is expected to return to the crease tonight after battling a stomach illness last week.

Rookie Ken Appleby will serve as his backup after Keith Kinkaid suffered a groin injury in Saturday’s game and was placed on injured reserve. 

After picking up wins over the Red Wings on Nov. 25 and Dec. 27, the Devils will look to sweep the season series tonight.

New Jersey has never swept Detroit, 3-0-0, in a season series.  

With an assist in his last game, Taylor Hall extended his point streak to seven games, tying a career-high.

He had a seven-game streak once before with the Oilers in 2016. Will he set a new personal record tonight?

With Brian Gibbons (thumb) on injured reserve, Blake Coleman will likely take his place in the lineup after being a healthy scratch the last three games. 

Also, we could see the return of Mirco Mueller after he was recalled from Binghamton Monday. Mueller has not played for the Devils since fracturing his left clavicle on Nov. 12.
