NBC Sports Network Airs Flyers at Devils Tonight

Emmy Award-winning play-by-play commentator Mike 'Doc' Emrick, analyst Eddie Olczyk and 'Inside-the-Glass' analyst Pierre McGuire will call The Game live from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Keith Jones: "Two Atlantic Division teams that have developed a lot of dislike toward each other, especially because of big games and their playoff history. The Flyers will try to turn the tables on the Devils, seeking Revenge for last year's playoff ouster. The Devils have been a little bumpy as of late, but have some great stars on their side, such as Ilya Kovalchuk."

MIKE 'DOC' EMRICK: "Rivalries often emerge from geography, become hostile in regular-season games, but are fierce from playoffs. There were early '80s mismatches before the Devils went through the Flyers en route to two titles. Philadelphia responded by winning series games with their patented blend of skill and bile. I see heavy hits, brilliant saves and sets of penalties, for sure, and perhaps some scoring."
