In the second leg of a back-to-back, the New Jersey Devils (38-29-7) visit the Minnesota Wild (41-27-5). Saturday’s match also marks the first of a home-and-home series with Minnesota.
The Devils are coming into Saturday decimated by injuries. By now you know about Jack Hughes, Dougie Hamilton, and Jonas Siegenthaler. However, yesterday we learned Luke Hughes was sidelined with an injury. He took warmups on Friday before the Devils faced the Winnipeg Jets, but was ultimately held out for precautionary reasons related to a lower-body injury.
