New Jersey Devils Team Overview
Sheldon Keefe's squad have suffered three consecutive regulation losses, which quickly knocked them off the top spot in the East. Defenseman Jack Hughes sustained an injury and will be sidelined for several weeks. This proved to be a critical blow. The team has become significantly weaker defensively, a vulnerability that opponents have readily exploited. Over the past three games alone, the club has conceded 12 goals. Meanwhile, their scoring hasn't improved either. With only 65 goals to their name, they hold one of the lowest tallies among the top eight in the conference. The hosts urgently need to regroup.
