The New Jersey Devils (8-5-3, 19 pts.) will play the Minnesota Wild (11-6-1, 23 pts.) tonight at the Rock at 7pm ET. The Devils better play a full sixty minutes or else it will be a wild finish.
The Wild are leading the Central Division and have a knack for the heroic comebacks. They have lost four out of their last six games. Regardless, they are a good team and any lead against them is meaningless. The Devils must maintain pressure on the Wild throughout the game and cannot afford late game lapses.
Expect the Devils to bring the forecheck throughout the game. But goaltending will be the difference maker for both teams.
Chase Deleo Gets His Chance
Big reason why the Utica Comets are 13-0-0 is because of Chase Deleo. Despite playing only eight games, he leads Comets in scoring with 14 points (2 goals, 12 assists).
Deleo was recalled and Alexander Holtz was sent down to Utica.
