NEW JERSEY DEVILS (32-22-6) vs. UTAH HOCKEY CLUB (27-24-9)

New Jersey plays its first-ever road game against the Utah Hockey Club at Delta Center.

The Devils continue their five-game road trip against Utah. They opened with a victory in Nashville (5-0) before falling to Colorado (5-1). The Devils will finish the trip against Vegas and Dallas.

New Jersey is led by Jack Hughes, who bests the team with 27 goals and 69 points. Hughes enters the Utah game riding a four-game scoring streak with six total points (4g-2a). Jesper Bratt had his 10-game point/assist streak snapped at Colorado. He notched 16 points in the streak (2g-14a), and set a franchise record for an assist streak. Defenseman Dougie Hamilton has 10 points in his last 11 games (3g-7a) and is a plus-8 in that stretch.

The Utah Hockey Club is fighting for its playoff life. The team currently (as of Friday) sits two points out of the final Wild Card position, though teams ahead of them have games in hand. The team is in the midst of a four-game homestand, which will end against the Devils. Utah is looking to go a perfect 4-0 after opening with victories against Vancouver, Chicago and Minnesota. Utah will have a four-day break after playing New Jersey.

Clayton Keller does it all for Utah. He’s the team leader in goals (22-t), assists (47) and points (69). Dylan Guenther has set career marks with 22 goals, 22 assists and 44 points. Logan Cooley is on pace for his second straight 20-goal season. Goaltender Karel Vejmelka has posted great numbers with a 2.44 goals-against average and .910 save percentage, despite his 16-15-4 record.

INJURIES
Devils: Siegenthaler (unknown, IR), Markstrom (MCL, IR)
Utah: Bortuzzo (lower-body)

In before “Utahrizona aren’t actually that bad and they’ve won 3 in a row!”

So? We have plenty of teams down the stretch that “Aren’t that bad” and the two games remaining on this trip are teams way better than this, as well as the one waiting for us when the trip ends. And we didn’t exactly have a good record from late December through early February when the schedule was full of almost nothing but teams that aren’t that bad and teams that are very bad, with literally 5 good teams scattered in there.

Win some f***in games.
 
Hah I missed the GDT theme at first...pretty accurate on the whole though I wouldn't describe myself as either bloomer or doomer, more that I lean toward one direction depending on which way the team is currently playing (especially since when the team is winning the doomers tend to annoy me more and get me more entrenched in the positive end while the last few weeks it's been the opposite).
 
f*** Utahrizona. Garbage franchise with 45 years of a garbage, irrelevant, nothing legacy.

“But it’s an expansion team! They have nothing to do with Arizona!”

I swear people started fueling that narrative because of how rich of an embarrassing history this organization has.

Even in Winnipeg they were nothing.

Unlike my friend @Bleedred, I think Utazona is kinda good. They might actually start building something now that they actually have an owner who might be interested in things like winning.

I think they have a good base to work with, especially future Devil, Clayton Keller.

Need the two points but this is one of those winnable games that they'll probably lose.

:(

Please win

That doomer picture is so good I might have to make it my avatar, especially if we come back from this road trip with 0 wins lol

I have the Red Bulls home opener tonight so I'll be watching this one on delay or in the morning but hoping to go 2-0 instead of 0-2 like last Saturday lol

LETS GO DEVILS!!!

you forgot to crap all over shane doan
 
Playing Nemec over Casey feels like intentionally tanking. Maybe Keefe just wants to get Dillon some practice defending odd man rushes.
Haven't liked how he has played but keep in mind it is still a small sample....Hopefully he takes advantage of another shot if not I think they will send him down eventually. If that happens I could see him getting disgruntled pretty quick....If it's due to Casey outplaying him he can bi*ch.....
