Henrik Lundqvist always looks forward to facing off with his idol Devils #30 Martin Brodeur.

H. Lundqvist has handled New Jersey very well during his career by out performing one of the best goalies in history his counterpart tonight M. Brodeur.

Expect Henrik to be on his toes silencing the Devil fans as he has done so many times in the past.

"The King" has a 2.53 goals against average through the first two games of the season as he shows up in New Jersey with a 1-1 record.

The loss came to the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins who have scoring up and down their lineup as the blueshirts came so close, but would fall short 3-2.

In last Saturday's game New York looked to be unfazed from their first loss as they out played the Ottawa Senators in every fashion of the game to defeat them by the score of 5-2.

Henrik will have his glove going for a showdown against some of the Devils best scorers starting with #9 Zach Parise.

Although P. Elias is a big name on the team the Devils got strong play from 25 year old Z. Parise as he scored 11 points in the 6 games Vs the blueshirts last year.

The Rangers did a great job of containing #12 Brian Rolston holding him to a -4 in their meetings for 2008-09.

Martin Brodeur has one win his last 7 starts against the Rangers giving up 23 goals in those games.

Marty comes into today with 557 wins, and a career goals against average of 2.21.

This is a legend guarding the Devils defensive zone with over 101 shutouts in his unbelievable career.

He will be running into #10 Marian Gaborik who already has two goals to draw the attention from New York fans.

#17 Brandon Dubinsky is coming off of a 3 point game looking to pursue a season of greatness, and will pose a threat to the Devils.

Rangers head coach John Tortorella knows that captain #23 Chris Drury loves to play in this type of atmosphere as every game between the two teams is an absolute war.

Look for both goaltenders to give both teams a chance to win the game, as they stand as some of the most talented goalies who've ever been in the game.

Tonight's game should have a lot of tension, and be full of hitting.

Look for Rangers newcomer #87 Donald Brashear to step up the physical game, and if #16 Sean Avery plays then watch out Marty, as we all know that he owns M. Brodeur.

Lets wait and see if New York can carry the momentum of last Saturday, and use it against one of the better teams in the NHL.
