The New Jersey Devils (20-10-3) bring their impressive three-game road winning streak to Enterprise Center as they face off against the St. Louis Blues (15-14-3) in what promises to be an intriguing cross-conference matchup.
The Devils have been one of the NHL's most formidable teams this season, averaging 3.33 goals per game while maintaining a stellar defensive record of just 2.61 goals against, highlighted by their recent stretch where they've allowed only two goals in their last two games.
St. Louis enters the contest with mixed fortunes, having struggled offensively with just 2.59 goals per game despite recent contributions from Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas, who have combined for 19 goals and 31 assists this season.
The historical context adds another layer of intrigue, as the Blues won the teams' last encounter with a 3-0 victory and have claimed six of the past ten meetings between these clubs.
While the Devils' dynamic duo of Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt (combining for 26 goals and 54 assists) leads their potent offense, the Blues will look to goaltender Joel Hofer (.905 save percentage) to help turn their home fortunes around.
This matchup sets the stage for an compelling battle between New Jersey's high-powered offense and St. Louis's determination to improve their standing in the Central Division.
