The Metropolitan Division-leading New Jersey Devils (22-11-3) welcome their rivals, the New York Rangers (16-15-1), to the Prudential Center on Monday afternoon in what promises to be an intense divisional matchup.

The Devils enter the contest riding high with four wins in their last five games, including an impressive 3-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins where Jacob Markstrom continued his stellar form with his second shutout of the season.

The Rangers, meanwhile, have struggled recently, dropping six of their last nine games despite snapping a three-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the Dallas Stars.

New Jersey's potent offense, led by Jesper Bratt's 43 points and Jack Hughes's 42 points, faces off against the Rangers' Artemi Panarin, who leads his team with 37 points and 15 goals.

The contrast in recent form is stark, with the Devils boasting the league's second-best power play and third-best goals-against average, while the Rangers have slipped to sixth place in the Metropolitan Division.

As these longtime rivals prepare to add another chapter to their storied history, recent statistics and team performances suggest an intriguing afternoon of hockey awaits at the Prudential Center.
