The New Jersey Devils had an unexpected break when the Ottawa Senators, whom the Devils were supposed to play on Tuesday, saw several of their games rescheduled because of a COVID-19 outbreak.
The Devils should be well-rested — something they needed after a tough four-game week last week. Week 5 was the Devils’ most difficult of the season so far, but they did well.
They enter Thursday’s game on a two-game losing streak, but the Devils did earn points in three of four matchups against some of the best and toughest teams in the league.
