Albany Devils News Release
- TODAY'S STORYLINES
The Wait Is Over: The Albany Devils are currently experiencing one of the longest stretches between games this season, having played last Saturday at Hershey. The team returns to the ice against the Bears Friday at Times Union Center. By the time the puck drops at 7 pm, six days will have passed since the first contest of the home-and-home series. The Bears took last week's game, 4-0.
"They are a skilled team and I thought we didn't manage the puck well against them," said Head Coach Rick Kowalsky. "I expect them to be better because they are rested now. They were coming off getting in late on a road trip. For us right now it's more about our game. We do have to put more pressure and take away time and space and make their life a little bit harder in our building."

A Social Being: The Devils host their first ever "Social Media Night" during Friday's game. Scott Wedgewood one of the team's most active social media users, reflected on his approach to the digital medium.
"I'm on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, all of those channels," Wedgewood said. "To me it's just an easier way to connect with the outside world. You get to update not just your hockey life, but let people know you are a person outside of the sport and what we enjoy."
