The Arizona Coyotes are facing off against the New Jersey Devils tonight. Like the Coyotes, the Devils weren’t expected to be a playoff team this season, especially since they are in the toughest division in the league. Additionally, the Devils have also iced several rookie talents to fill in for key injuries and inject some youth on the team. Unlike the Coyotes, the Devils are off to hot start with a record of 7-2-0 and are second in their division standings.
The Devils will be playing the second game of a back-to-back tonight, after defeating the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in a shootout last night.
