If you looked at the schedule before the season began, a home game against Montreal might have been viewed as a respite from a demanding November schedule. Fast forward into the season and the Canadiens have been one of the surprise teams in the NHL so far, sitting some eight points ahead of the Devils.

We'll break down the game and what the Devils will need to do to get back on the winning track following two defeats over the weekend.

A road-weary Devils team took the ice on Tuesday night at Prudential Center needing a big win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. They fought through adversity and found a way to win it as Taylor Hall broke the 2-2 tie in the third period.

We'll discuss the game and what it'll take to find a similar effort in Philly on Thursday night.

As the Devils limp home after a 1-6 road trip, their effort and point total leave much to be desired. We'll discuss the franchise as a whole on Monday's show, looking at all angles from the macro level down to the specific issues that have plagued this team.

We'll share your twitter/email comments and take calls as we try to make sense of the troubling start for this team.

Despite getting out to an early 2-0 lead, the Devils fell 7-3 in Ottawa, failing to capitalize on any momentum following their win in Pittsburgh. We'll break the game down and look ahead to the weekend where the Devils play two tough teams in an attempt to salvage an already disappointing road trip.

The Devils broke out of their slump with a 5-1 victory over the Penguins. Brian Boyle notched his first career hat trick in the win. We'll break it down and look to Tuesday's game in Ottawa.

After falling 3-0 to the Islanders at Barclays Center on Saturday, the Devils find themselves amidst a tailspin. Losers of six of their last seven games, they'll have to find a way to get back into the mix quickly, or risk digging themselves a huge hole to climb out of for the rest of the season.

We'll discuss the re-assignment of Pavel Zacha to Binghamton, break down the Islander game, a little on Detroit and focus on what's ahead as the Devils begin an important all-road back-to-back set against the Penguins on Monday night.

Despite a strong start that saw them get out to a 2-0 lead early on in Tampa, the Devils fell apart over the remaining 50 minutes of the contest, dropping an 8-3 contest to the Lightning in what was their worst effort of the season to date.

We'll break it down, discuss what went wrong and look ahead to Thursday's game in Detroit.

Playing in their first game since a pair of bag skates earlier in the week, the Devils took on the Nashville Predators at Prudential Center. There were some good moments for the Devils, but ultimately an improved effort wasn't enough, as they fell 4-3 in overtime to the Preds. We'll break down the game as well as take a look at the Florida Panthers who come into town Saturday at noon.

Wednesday's Devils Daily is a special interview with Deb Placey. We'll chat with her about covering the Devils and what's next. Also, a discussion regarding John Hynes' response to breaking up the 1st line.

After two straight losses filled with penalties and sloppy play, John Hynes took the ice for Monday's practice on a mission. The players skated early and often, running what was described by many as the most intense practice of his tenure.

Up next is the Nashville Predators, who come in flying and are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the league once again this year.
