GDT: CBJ @ NJ | 7 PM EST

[VABUCK]

Slow start, lazy play, inconsistent, and bad goal keeping. Missed opportunity tonight! Every game is now a must win!

We were chasing that game right from the drop

Is Chinakhov looking rusty? I see his ice time is down quite a bit. Hope he can bounce back after the back injury.

He looks out of shape, which is understandable.

Monihan when he returns soon will probably be in the same situation.

11 home games/7 road games left. That's a positive.

It's an 82 game season so there are plenty of peaks and valleys along the way. I don't think the CBJ are trending down in any meaningful way now-they're just experiencing one of the many inevitable lulls in performance over the course of the season.

we’re now 2-6-1 against NJD in our last 9. getting outscored 40 to 20 in that span. something’s gotta give.

absolutely ownage.

I'm guessing he's fully skating right now though - it's a wrist problem. Whereas Chinny wasn't doing full skates because of his back issue.

But that isn't quite game shape is it? Although definitely seems Monahan will be quicker to game shape.
