| |  | NEW JERSEY: LAST SEASON: 35-29-18, 88 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Peter DeBoer, 4th season with Devils (102-76-34); 7th overall in NHL (205-183-70).
ADDED: LW Mike Cammalleri, LW Martin Havlat, C Scott Gomez, G Scott Clemmensen.
LOST: G Martin Brodeur, D Anton Volchenkov, D Mark Fayne.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jaromir Jagr. Led the team in scoring with 24 goals and 43 assists in remarkable season in which he played in all 82. Can he do it again at 42-years-old. If he does, the Devils have a shot at getting back into the playoffs for the first time since reaching NHL Finals in 2011-12.
OUTLOOK: After finishing with fourth fewest goals in the league, the Devils hope free-agent signees Cammalleri (26 goals) and Havlat (12 goals in 48 games) can boost the scoring, along with Adam Henrique, who scored a career-high 25-goals last season. With Broduer not re-signed, Cory Schnedier will get most of the work in goal after posting a 1.97 goals against average in 46 games last season. Defense allowed 208 goals, ninth best in the league. | | CAROLINA: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, 83 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 13th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Bill Peters, 1st season with Hurricanes; 1st overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Brad Malone, D Tim Gleason.
LOST: C Manny Malhotra, G Justin Peters, C Brett Sutter.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Eric Staal. The captain is coming off the most disappointing season of his career, with his 21 goals his fewest in an 82-game season since he was a rookie a decade ago. With a salary of $9.25 million, he's one of the highest-paid players in the game but he managed just one power-play goal last season. He had sports hernia surgery during the offseason, and a fresh start with the detail-driven Peters could be just what Staal needs.
OUTLOOK: No team in the current alignment of the Eastern Conference has a longer playoff drought than the Hurricanes, who haven't made the postseason since 2009. How quickly Peters' message of focus and personal accountability gets through to a largely unchanged roster will determine whether that streak finally ends this season. |

*Devils-Hurricanes Preview* ===========================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
New Jersey (31-31-12) at Carolina (27-36-10), 7:00 p.m. EDT
While the Carolina Hurricanes have already been eliminated for a sixth straight season, the New Jersey Devils are desperately clinging to minuscule hopes of avoiding a third straight absence from the playoffs.
Standing 11 points back with eight games remaining, the Devils will try to avert their fourth straight defeat Saturday night while adding to their road success against the Hurricanes.
Since reaching the postseason in 19 of 20 seasons - including three Stanley Cup titles - New Jersey has struggled to qualify and will need a miracle to avoid missing out on the playoffs for the fourth time in five years.
A recent 10-3-2 stretch was too little, too late, and the Devils have since dropped three in a row. Their 3-2 overtime loss at Washington on Thursday inched the Eastern Conference's 12th-place club closer to elimination.
Travis Zajac scored for the first time in 11 games Thursday, while Steve Bernier added his third goal over his last two on the road. New Jersey (31-31-12) has totaled three goals with only three power-play chances during its skid.
The Devils have reason to feel good about their future because of a much-improved defense and Cory Schneider. He has a league-high 1,720 saves and ranks among the league leaders with a 1.84 goals-against average since Dec. 17.
"I've never played without a great goaltender and we have one of the best guys in the world right now," said veteran center Scott Gomez, who has a goal and an assist over his last two games. "You can build off that."
Schneider is also 4-1-1 with a 1.65 GAA in six career starts against the Hurricanes. After stopping 39 shots in a 2-1 road win Dec. 8, he had 32 saves in a 2-1 overtime home loss Dec. 23 and gave up a goal in relief during a 3-1 road loss Feb. 21.
The Devils have won the past four meetings at PNC Arena by a combined 14-5 score.
Cam Ward will get the start in net for the Hurricanes (27-36-10) after finishing with 27 saves in his return from illness in Thursday's 5-2 home win over Pittsburgh. He's been a bright spot by going 8-3-1 with a 2.47 GAA over his last 12 starts.
Ward, though, is 4-10-1 with a 2.86 GAA in his past 15 games against the Devils.
The Hurricanes' victory over the Penguins snapped a four-game losing streak overall and a season-high six-game skid at home. They haven't won two in a row at PNC Arena since a three-game run Feb. 20-27.
"We're going to continue to work and compete, and (coach Bill Peters is) not going to have it any other way, which is good," captain Eric Staal, who has a team-high 20 goals, told the team's official website. "That's the way it should be."
Staal had a goal and two assists Thursday, but has scored only four times in 42 career games against the Devils. Jeff Skinner had the club's lone tally in last month's loss, giving him six in his last nine matchups.
New Jersey's Adam Henrique has two goals in the season series and six over his past seven meetings.
