The Devils have a lot of opening night spots determined already. This is unsurprising for a team that is bringing back virtually their entire roster from 2017-18. I’d say there’s 10-11 forward spots and 4-5 defender spots locked in already. That leaves a 1-2 of each position up for grabs in the active roster and around 6 total spots up for grabs. With most of our 5v5 time accounted for already at this point, a player will need to distinguish themselves by proving the can contribute in multiple ways.
Powerplay
A lot of the most important players are returning and will likely be involved again.
