The New Jersey Devils, as has been the case for many recent seasons, lack any sort of guile or bite in their bottom-six forward group, and particularly so on the fourth line. Eventually, that is going to have to change if the team truly aspires to be a Stanley Cup contender.
Veterans like Ondrej Palat, Stefan Noesen, and Luke Glendening have not gotten the job done often enough for the Devils and account for just three total goals on the season. Glendening, who joined the Devils on a tryout basis, has yet to score a goal in 30 games with New Jersey this season.
