Players To Watch:

New Jersey Devils

Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt have been producing for the New Jersey Devils but their defensive play has been lacking. Hughes and Bratt are a combined -8 on the season. If New Jersey wants to live up to their Stanley Cup Contender label these two dynamic players need to improve their defensive zone details.

Edmonton Oilers

In the absence of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl has taken over. Draisaitl is arguably one of the three or four best players in the game and he’s proved it. The 29-year-old German has 6 points (3g, 3a) in the 2 games (both wins) since McDavid got hurt. Draisaitl is proving that the Oilers are not a one-man team.
