David Schlemko. Lee Stempniak. Mike Cammalleri. All three men made impacts in Calgary, for various reasons. They return tonight, in the uniforms of their new lovers.

Well I wasn't going to use anybody else, was I?

This year's Devils are a different proposition to last year's. They actually seem like a functional hockey team. I miss that.

Game recap

Yeah, lets not.

Projected lines

  • Jonas Hiller is back practising, but the game comes too soon for him. Ramo gets his ninth straight start.
  • Derek Grant has returned to Stockton, and Josh Jooris takes his place in the side. Poor Derek, being sent back down to the AHL because Brandon Bollig exists.
