Eastern Conference action takes center stage on Jan 31, as the Ottawa Senators host the New Jersey Devils at the Canada Tire Centre.
The Senators have been in excellent recent form, improving to a winning overall record after landing five victories in their last ten.
Meanwhile, the Devils have struggled to win in recent NHL games after back-to-back losses.
It has been a positive season to this point for the Ottawa Senators, and they will have genuine hopes of finishing in a playoff spot this season.
They come into this round with a winning overall record, and they have claimed victories in five of their last ten. Travis Green’s side showcased their quality with a stunning 5-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche this week, improving their home advantage to 13-10-4.
Tim Stutzle is the key man for the team, leading the Senators for goals, assists, and points.

There is likely to be questions to answer for the NJ Devils this weekend, as they have dropped to defeats in back-to-back games ahead of a clash with the Nashville Predators.
The Devils still have a positive overall record, but they are the lowest scorers in the Metropolitan Division.
A major concern would be their record away from the Prudential Center, with Sheldon Keefe’s side going 15-14-0 on the road.
| TOTAL | Devils | Senators | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 131 | 72 | 54 | - |
| GOALS | 672 | 350 | 322 |
The Senators bring their recent form into this clash, but it is worth noting that they have won just 43% of their head-to-head home games with the Devils. Despite that, their overall winning record makes them very challenging to oppose on Saturday.
