Week 5 was the New Jersey Devils‘ toughest of the young season, so far, but many players stepped up.
The Devils ended up earning three points in four games against the Florida Panthers, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers — some of the best teams in the league.
The Devils obviously played quite well as a team, but who stood out most?
Player of the week: C Dawson Mercer
This week’s player of the week for the Devils was none other than the rookie.
Mercer has been fantastic in his inaugural season, but was especially remarkable this week.
