Little bit odd that the Devils play Montreal and Florida, yet not Pittsburgh.

Split squad games

Split squad games

why you gotta ruin my 3-way hockey dream

If it were on a weekend, I might be silly enough to go to that game in Montreal if only to cross that arena off the list. Although split squad + the top players being at the World Cup would make that an even more watered down game than usual.

florida should be contracted

I like that they are doing the split squad thing for the extra game.
Gives some of the prospects more ice time and the staff a better look at them in game situations.

Can someone explain the split squad....
Ive seen other teams do it, never the Devils, and I usually don't watch other teams preseason games so I don't really understand exactly what occurs.

Quite a few teams having been scheduling split squad preseason games.

With so many players in camp, the Devils will simply break them into (2) teams for that night.

 

[Bleedred]

I can't remember us doing a split squad game in the preseason in years now.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah MLB teams do it all the time early in Spring Training, honestly I'm surprised every team doesn't do it in the NHL. If you have 50 guys in camp no reason not to do it early in the preseason.

I don't know why teams don't do more split squad games. Do NHL players really need more than 3 games to get back into the swing of things?

I guess they wanted a couple of mini road trips to go along with the normal six preseason games.

 

[Bleedred]

Cory Vs Lou for the preseason finale? Or do we go Juan Pablo Montoya instead?

Oh yeah, that's right. Montoya is a UFA and I bet he's not back. Maybe we can sign him if we can beat out some lucrative racing deals that will no doubt be coming his way?
