The New Jersey Devils (17-13-1) are limping into the weekend with the hopes they’ll make it out in one piece. The injuries are mounting, and they’ll be without an additional few key players when they face the Anaheim Ducks (19-11-1) on Saturday.
They’ve lost six of their last seven games, five on home ice, and need to get the train back on the tracks. That will be especially hard to do with all the bodies out of their lineup.
Let’s dive into today’s matinée matchup.
