Devils Visit Flyers Tonight Seeking to Halt Skid and Jump-Start Power Play
With Jack Hughes still out, New Jersey leans on recent blue-line returns to steady its lineup.
Overview
- Puck drop is 7:00 p.m. ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, the first of three meetings between the teams this season.
- New Jersey enters on a two-game slide after road losses to Tampa Bay and Florida to close a five-game trip.
- The Devils reassigned defenseman Ethan Edwards to AHL Utica after he did not appear, as Dougie Hamilton and Brenden Dillon returned for the past two games.
- The power play is 2-for-22 in November and now faces a Flyers penalty kill stopping 86.21 percent of chances.
- Philadelphia under Rick Tocchet plays a low-event style and leans on starter Dan Vladar’s solid form, with Trevor Zegras leading the club in points.
