Fire & Ice | Bergen Record — Nine days ago, Martin Skoula was still a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Then, he was traded to Toronto on March 2 in a deal for left wing Alexei Ponikarovsky. The next day, the Maple Leafs traded him to the Devils. As fate would have it, Skoula will face his old mates twice in the next six days, including Friday night’s contest at Prudential Center. Does Friday’s game have any added significance for Skoula? “I just want to win the game because I was part of the organization,” he said. “It just makes you more anxious to play a fun game.” Skoula is trying not to dwell on what happened ea...
7 hours agoMartin Brodeur saw a little of Scott Stevens in Sidney Crosby at Olympics
Fire & Ice | Bergen Record — Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur learned a few things about the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury during the two weeks he was teammates with them on the Canadian Olympic team in Vancouver. One was that Crosby and Fleury are well aware that the Devils have defeated the Penguins all four times they’ve met this season (outscoring them 14-2). The teams meet again Friday night at Prudential Center “They know,” Brodeur said. “It’s not like it’s not in the back of their mind. They know how well we played against them. So, I’m sure they’re going to be ready for us.” During th...

Fire & Ice | Bergen Record — Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur has something special planned for the team’s March 17 game against the Penguins on Wednesday night at Prudential Center. The Devils will be wearing their original red, white and green jerseys that night for the first time since the end of the 1991-92 season. As I was the first to report back in December, Brodeur, who is the only current Devil to have worn the red and green, had a special mask painted to wear in that game. It’s replica of the mask he wore in his first NHL game, March 26, 1992 and three others during the 1991-92 season. (The original was painted...

Fire & Ice | Bergen Record — Having taken an important first step with their 6-3 win over the Rangers Wednesday night, the Devils want to take another one Friday night when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins. They trail the Penguins, who paly tonight in Carolina, by three points for first place in the Atlantic Division. This is the first of two games in six nights between the teams and will probably weigh heavily in determining the eventual winner of the division. “It’s going to be difficult through the whole month,” Devils coach Jacques Lemaire said. “Look at all the teams we’ll be playing. They’re all good teams. It’s ...

- Johnson in, Kennedy out - 03-11-10 Empty Netters | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette According to the Penguins Web site, Brent Johnson will start in net tonight. That will presumably give Marc-Andre Fleury a chance to rest up for a start against his nemesis, the Devils tomorrow. Johnson is 9-5-0 this season with a 2.60 goals against average and .913 save percentage. All-time against the Hurricanes, he has a 6-5-1 record with a 2.86 goals against average and .921 save percentage. And with Bill Guerin's back healthy, it looks like Tyler Kennedy (right) is the odd man out among the forward combinations. Pascal Dupuis had taken his place on the third line. The lines and defensive...

They’re not gonna just drag themselves around here because they lose a game; we need to get ready for another game, so they’re fine.” As Chris Drury put it, “For a couple months we’ve been saying, the next game on our schedule is the biggest one of the ye...

Pool was due to become a restricted free agent, but he didn't receive a qualifying tender from the Browns. That made him free, with no ties to the Browns. Also, the Jets aren't required to compensate the Browns with a draft pick. Pool, a former second-round pick who has been slowed by a series of concussions over his career, joins Eric Smith and James Ihedigbo as the candidates to replace Kerry Rhodes. Pool has been a moderately productive starter when hea...

The Saints could be a sleeper because of Tomlinson's close relationship with former Charger teammate Drew Brees. The Jets' connection is O.C. Brian Schottenheimer, a former Chargers assistant.
