Sheldon Keefe's New Jersey Devils have been a largely consistent team in the NHL this season, accumulating an overall record of 16-9-1.
However, a return to form will be required this week after losing their last two, and five of their previous ten. Being back on home ice will be a positive, as the team have gone 9-2-1 at the Prudential Center in 2025-26.
Jack Hughes is a player to watch this week, as the star leads the franchise for goals scored in the NHL this season.

The Dallas Stars will have questions to answer on Wednesday, as they make a quick return to action following an overtime loss at the NY Rangers on Tuesday.
Fatigue could have a negative impact on their chances this week. Despite that, the Stars are in positive overall form, winning seven of their last ten in the NHL.
Meanwhile, they have been efficient on the road in 2025-26, winning nine of their 13 games. Wyatt Johnston has been a standout player for the Stars this season, scoring a team-high 16 goals.

The fact that this game comes quickly after an overtime loss for the Stars in New York can't be overlooked. The Devils have been excellent at home throughout the season, and they have won 48% of their previous meetings with Dallas at Prudential Center.
