New Jersey Devils Analysis

Despite three key contributors in Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and Tyler Toffoli, who have a combined 40 goals and 58 assists, other players such as Erik Haula, Nico Hischier, Alexander Holtz and defensemen Luke Hughes and John Marino have also had their contributions with 23 goals and 21 assists from the forward lines and 5 goals and 23 assists from the point to put the offense over the top. However, goaltender Vitek Vanecek has been off to a shaky start and is performing with a .883 save percentage and -10.7 goals saved above average. The New Jersey Devils have had a tough season, ranking #9 in offense with 3.42 goals per game and #30 in defense with 3.61 goals allowed per game. Additionally, they have a 16-13-2 record overall. Key contributors Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and Tyler Toffoli have 40 goals and 58 assists, while Erik Haula, Nico Hischier, Alexander Holtz, Luke Hughes, and John Marino have contributed 23 goals and 21 assists, and 5 goals and 23 assists from the point respectively to bolster the offense. Goaltender Vitek Vanecek however has had a subpar season with a .883 save percentage and -10.7 goals saved above average.

Devils Ready to Take Advantage of Home Ice Against Red Wings

The Devils may be a struggling team, however, their home ice advantage should be a deciding factor in this game against the struggling Red Wings. Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt and the rest of the forward unit have what it takes to capitalize and create a plethora of scoring chances. John Marino, Jonas Seigenthaler, and the defensive unit must create a defensive wall allowing goaltender Vitek Vanecek ample opportunity to shine. If the Devils can perform up to their potential, they should be favorites to win this match.
