It’s understood by many that the biggest Pens rivalry is across the state, while a few others believe it’s somewhere around the Virginia/Maryland area. While I won’t deny the brevity of either of those matchups, a special part of me loves nothing more than to see the Penguins beat the Devils. This obviously has some ties to my New Jersey residency, but I also tend to imagine the defeated look on the face of the pompous Devils fans that once bragged in my face throughout most of middle and high school about how good the Devils were. Too bad we have to wait for Pittsburgh to do it at Prudential Center until later in the season, but we’ll take the win at home none the less.

Tonight the Pens got the edge, dropping the Devils 4-1 and improving to three straight wins in the process. Jordan Staal picked up his fourth and fifth goals of the season, while Chris Kunitz picked up his second and James Neal tagged on his league-leading eighth goal.
