KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 47-29-6, 100 points. Finished second in Metropolitan Division.
LOST to Washington Capitals in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Sullivan (fourth season, sixth NHL season).
ADDED: D Jack Johnson, C Matt Cullen.
LOST: F Conor Sheary, F Tom Kuhnhackl, D Matt Hunwick, F Carter Rowney.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Matt Murray. The 24-year-old endured an up and down first season as the franchise's full-time starter. His goals against average (2.92) and save percentage (.907) all took significant dips off his previous two seasons. Having spotty play in front of him didn't help. If Murray can return to the steady form that helped the Penguins to consecutive Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, Pittsburgh will be a tough out in the postseason.
OUTLOOK: Pittsburgh's bid to become the first team in more than 30 years to "threepeat" ended with a loss to Washington. They opted to tinker than totally retool in the offseason, splurging on Johnson and bringing back the 42-year-old Cullen to provide depth down the middle. With Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin around, the Penguins will always be in the mix. But with the core of Crosby, Malkin, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang all in their early 30s, staying fresh for eight months will be a challenge.
NEW JERSEY:
COACH: John Hynes (fourth season).
ADDED: D Eric Gryba, D Egor Yakovlev.
LOST: F Patrick Maroon, D John Moore, F Brian Gibbons, F Michael Grabner, F Jimmy Hayes.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Taylor Hall. Won NHL MVP in breakout season. Had team highs of 39 goals, 54 assists and 93 points, 41 points more than closest teammate. Led Devils to playoffs for first time since 2011-12. Developed great chemistry with No. 1 overall draft pick Nico Hischier.
ADDED two goals and four assists in playoffs. Had offseason surgery on torn ligaments in left hand. Needs to be just as good.
OUTLOOK: Devils didn't change much. They believe there is a good mixture of rising stars in Hall and Hischier and solid role players in Marcus Johansson, Kyle Palmieri and Miles Wood. The question remains the defense and goaltending. Keith Kinkaid replaced Cory Schneider as No. 1 in second half of season but struggled in postseason. Hip may keep Schneider out for start of season. Andy Greene and Sami Vatanen are top defenders. Will Butcher needs to repeat surprising rookie season. Youngsters John Quenneville and Nick Lappin may make the jump from AHL.
PREVIEW
Devils looking to play spoiler vs. Penguins

The New Jersey Devils have spent most of this season as one of the NHL's few non-playoff contenders. But now they're at least attempting to ensure some other teams share their misery.

The Devils will look to continue playing spoiler Tuesday night, when they host the suddenly desperate Pittsburgh Penguins in Newark, N.J.

Both teams were off Monday after earning wins Sunday, when the Devils beat the visiting Buffalo Sabres 4-1, and the host Penguins edged the New York Rangers, 6-5.

The Devils' victory was their second straight and marked the first time they've won consecutive games since Jan. 12-14. The winning streak is just the third for New Jersey since it opened the season by winning the first four games. Only one of those streaks was longer than two games (a three-game run from Dec. 27-31).

With this current run, the Devils (23-28-8, 54 points), who will enter Tuesday tied for the second-fewest points in the Eastern Conference, are doing their best to impact the playoff race.

New Jersey lost the first two games of a Western Conference road trip, but capped the swing Friday by coming back from a three-goal deficit late in the second period to stun the Minnesota Wild, 5-4, in overtime. The loss was a major blow to Minnesota as it competes for a wild-card spot in the West.

On Sunday, the Devils made the path to the playoffs tougher for the Sabres, whose loss coupled with the Penguins' win left Buffalo six points behind Pittsburgh in the race for the last wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference.

"We needed to have a strong focus coming off the road trip, coming off the win," Devils head coach John Hynes said following the win over the Sabres. "We have a word, we call (it) 'self-starters' in our room. And this is one of those games where you need it. And we had it."

Focus shouldn't be a problem for the Penguins, the perennial Stanley Cup contenders who are fighting just to get into the playoffs. Pittsburgh (31-21-7, 69 points), which has made the playoffs in 12 straight seasons -- the longest active streak in the NHL -- moved back into the last wild-card spot Sunday, one point ahead of the Carolina Hurricanes, by beating the Rangers.

Even beginning Sunday afternoon on the outside looking in was a rare position to be in for the Penguins, who hadn't ranked lower than eighth in the Eastern Conference this late in a season since 2008-09, a campaign that ended with Pittsburgh winning the first of its three Stanley Cups in the Sidney Crosby era.

"Every point matters, and that's going to make us better in the long run," Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin told reporters following the victory over the Rangers. "If we keep chipping away and ... really (keep) bearing down and playing well, it will be beneficial come playoff time. We've just got to embrace the race."

New Jersey took the first three meetings of the season from Pittsburgh by a combined score of 15-6, including road victories of 5-1 and 6-3, the latter coming on Jan. 28.
