The Flyers came out flat in the first period but were able to put their slow start behind them to take a 1-0 series lead into Tuesday's game.
Who's hot?
Claude Giroux continues to put up points for the Flyers. The NHL's leading scorer in the playoffs netted a third-period marker in Game 1 and now has seven goals and eight assists in seven games so far this postseason.

Storylines
The Devils will be without superstar Ilya Kovalchuk for Game 2. Kovie suffered a lower-body injury during the middle of the Devils' first-round series against the Panthers. Tim Sestito will likely be Kovalchuk's replacement Tuesday night.

The Flyers have scored at least one power-play goal in each of their last seven games this postseason.
Defenseman Nicklas Grossmann returned to the Flyers lineup in Game 1. He logged over 16 minutes and was credited with two hits.
Injuries
Defenseman Andrej Meszaros (lower-back surgery) and Marc-Andre Bourdon (upper-body injury) remain out for the Flyers.
Henrik Tallinder (blood clot, lower leg) and Jacob Josefson (broken left wrist) are out for New Jersey. Kovalchuk is listed as day-to-day.
