The New Jersey Devils, now 16-10-1 after consecutive 3-0 shutout losses to the Dallas Stars & Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday and Friday, seek to rebound against the Boston Bruins, who stand at 18-9-2 with a 10-4-1 home record.
Perhaps, a quick two-game trip on the road will be enough for some team bonding to get things back on track.
The Devils are certainly soul-searching, as the once high-powered offense is short-circuiting.
Let’s dive into tonight’s matchup.
