Players To Watch:

New Jersey Devils

Paul Cotter started off February with two goals in his first game equaling his total from the entire month of January. Cotter is one goal away from tying his career high of 13 goals set with the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2022-23 season. The 25-year-old Canton, Michigan native is on pace for 18 goals and 27 points this season.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Erik Karlsson has been a disappointment since joining the Penguins. Karlsson was traded from the San Jose Sharks after winning the Norris Trophy with 101 points (25g, 76a) in the 2022-23 season and hasn’t come close to those numbers in Pittsburgh. Karlsson had 56 points in 82 games a year ago and is on pace for 53 points this season.
