In a challenging season, the New Jersey Devils faced two recent losses, falling 2-1 to the Sabres and 4-1 to the Penguins. Jack Hughes celebrated scoring the winning goal for Team USA in the Olympics before returning to the Devils, while Johnathan Kovacevic’s performance has raised concerns. Sidney Crosby and Mikko Rantanen are set to miss several weeks due to injuries, and Matthew Schaefer made history as the youngest defenseman to score 18 goals. Joel Quenneville achieved a milestone with his 1,000th career win as an NHL head coach.
