They landed I think a little after 12:00 PM on Long Beach airport on Sunday. They stayed overnight in Raleigh and flew out Sunday morning.

I have no inside information, this is all public info from flight aware. It's very obvious what flights the Devils or any team are using if you go to flight aware after a game and type in flights from that city to the next city that team plays in.

A bunch of the American based teams seem to use Delta and it's the same flight number every time. I think most of, if not all of the Canadian teams are with Air Canada.

And a few others use private charter companies, we're one of those teams. It used to be Swift Air and I think that was Interstate Equipment before that, but apparently we use this Ravn Alaska now. Not sure if they bought one of those other companies or if we just changed.

Actually, I found it.


It appears to change flight numbers maybe every other flight, as the flight before that was from St. Louis downtown to John Glenn Columbus international on December 17th.

I'm sure it's not against site rules to post this. It's not like you can go to the airport and wait at the gate for the Devils to get off the plane. Sports teams use private gates in the back and don't have to go through the main airport lobby and gates, except for sometimes when it involves customs when traveling to and from Canada.

One good team on the whole trip so of course we play them on the 2nd half of a back to back.

Allen on short rest increases the risk of losing both games IMO. Maximize your chances at winning this game and treat tomorrow like a bonus game.
Most of the time I'm for icing the best possible lineup and the better goalie against the better team, but I can understand starting Markstrom tonight and Allen against the better team tomorrow.

When Allen started the second half of the back to back I figured he wouldn't play two games in a row, despite the weaker team being the first half of the back.
