Overview
- The Devils will host the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday, Oct. 22 at Prudential Center after New Jersey beat Colorado 4-3 and are trying to build a homestand streak.
- Nico Daws is the expected starter for New Jersey and would make his fourth start of the season as the team looks for consistency in goal.
- New Jersey has outshot every opponent so far and relies on top producers Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier to drive its offense.
- Anaheim arrives on a four-game losing streak with defensive problems that include a team save percentage near .882 and a low expected-goals share, issues linked to offseason departures and injuries with Troy Terry traveling but not yet playing.
- The game doubles as the Prudential Center’s first K-Pop Night and comes before the Devils finish the homestand with a matinee against the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 24.
