LOWELL, Mass. - The Lowell Devils, American Hockey League affiliate of the New Jersey Devils, announced their 2007-08 regular season schedule today. The Devils will open their second season in the AHL on the road against the Portland Pirates on October 6th.

The Devils first home game of the season will be Saturday, October 13th at 7:05 p.m. when they host the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Overall, Lowell will host 40 regular season games at Tsongas Arena, of which 26 fall on the weekend (Friday, Saturday or Sunday).

The majority of games (58 out of 80 total games) will come against other Atlantic Division rivals Hartford (4 home/4 road), Manchester (5/5), Portland (5/5), Providence (5/5), Springfield (5/5) and Worcester (5/5).
