But can they make it five in a row?

The New Jersey Devils (32-29-2) host the Detroit Red Wings (35-21-7) in yet another back-to-back situation this month. Earlier in the week, the Devils beat the Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs in consecutive nights.

Last night, they defeated their cross-town rival, the New York Rangers.

Now, the Dylan Larkin-less Red Wings come to Newark to see if they can put the Devils’ four-game win streak to a halt.

Let’s dive into tonight’s matchup.
