After week one, though only two games, the New Jersey Devils are off to a fantastic 1-0-1 start. What makes it more impressive is they came against last season’s Presidents’ Trophy winners the Boston Bruins. In those two games, head coach Lindy Ruff kept the same lines, which gives us ample time to assess them.
Line One
Sharangovich-Hughes-Palmieri
These three have shown chemistry already. Considering how Yegor Sharangovich just came over from the KHL and the low amount of time Jack Hughes spent with Kyle Palmieri last season, this is a big surprise from a line that looked like a big wildcard.
