After an emotional 3-2 OT victory over the Atlantic-leading Islanders on Wednesday, the 13-11-3-2 Devils appear to be heating up, going 4-1-1 in their last six. They hope to keep their momentum going tonight as the host the Panthers (7-17-2-3).

The Panthers have dropped five straight on the road and are 1-2 with new coach Mike Keenan behind the bench.

Pavel Bure is expected to play in his second consecutive game after missing the last seven due to a concussion.
