COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Metropolitan Division is coming for the Devils.
After playing just two of their first 26 games against divisional opponents, the Devils will play three straight contests against them, starting with a 7 p.m. matchup on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
The Devils will then host the Blue Jackets on Friday at the Prudential Center in Newark before visiting the Rangers on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The Devils have talked about the importance of each game and opponent, but they know intra-division games carry some extra weight.
