The New Jersey Devils (23-21-2) are back home after a brutal four-game road trip wrapped up on a positive note. Hosting the Seattle Kraken at the Prudential Center, the Devils are back in front of their fans for the first time since booing Luke Hughes off the ice.
After taking it to the Minnesota Wild on Monday, the Devils are hoping to get back on track.
The Kraken, holding third place in the Pacific Division, are playing well, 7-1-2 in their last 10, and coming off a win across the Hudson against the New York Rangers.
