The New Jersey Devils (22-20-2) will try to soften the blow of their off-ice issues with a win on Sunday afternoon against the Winnipeg Jets (16-22-5) on the road.
Except, wins haven’t been easy to come by for New Jersey, who are 3-6-1 in their last 10 games and are on a three-game slide.
However, if you can believe it, it’s been tougher for the Jets these days, who are 1-6-3 in their last 10. Yet, they got back in the win column in their last outing, dropping 10 games in a row previously.
Let’s dive into today’s matchup.
