Now that we are heading into mid-to-late February, it means one of the NHL’s premier regular season events is upon us: the Stadium Series. This season, the Devils get to take part in the fun, as they will face the Philadelphia Flyers in a game that will involve one team looking to hang onto a playoff spot while the other hopes to force their way into one.

When do the Devils and Flyers square off this weekend?
Catch the action on Saturday, February 17th, and see if the Devils can disrupt what has been a surprising season for the Flyers.

Which venue is hosting the Stadium Series this weekend?
The Devils will be in their backyard for this game, as it will take place in the Meadowlands at MetLife Stadium. This will give New Jersey home-ice advantage, so there is a good chance they will continue to build on their brewing momentum with what should be a strong contingent of their own fans in attendance.

What Devils fans must watch for
While the Devils haven’t enjoyed a great season so far, the Stadium Series is one way they keep some recent momentum going. Lately, however, this team has been over 0.500 points-wise, and they are only a few outside of overtaking one of the Atlantic Division teams for a wild card spot. Obviously, there will be a big reward in getting the two points on Saturday, but they also need to slow down the Flyers momentum, and that could pay dividends down the stretch.
