The New Jersey Devils have been one of the worst teams in the league, but came into Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins having won two in a row.
Granted, the first of these wins came against one of the few teams in the league worse than them, the Buffalo Sabres, but win number two was a big one against a red-hot Penguins team.
The Devils took advantage of an Evgeni Malkin-less Pittsburgh team, and will have to do the same on Saturday.
Some good news for the Devils: one of their best players, Pavel Zacha, would make his return to the lineup after missing a game with an undisclosed injury.
