Last time out, New Jersey pulled off an impressive victory against the Los Angeles Kings. Unlike their tilt vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Devils took two points from the Kings, completely stifling them and put an end to their six-game win streak.
New Jersey look to carry that momentum this afternoon.

-The Devils and Chicago meet for the first of two matchups in 2024-25.
