The Devils shut down the Chicago Blackhawks, 4-2 on Sunday and they have won 4 of the last 5 games. C Dawson Mercer scored his 1st goal of the season. C Jack Hughes missed that contest and won’t play in this one either, after he sustained a shoulder injury Nov. 3 against St. Louis.
The Avs have been stewing over a 7-0 beatdown from the Vegas Golden Knights Saturday. It was the 3rd time in 4 games they were shut out. The Avalanche return home for a 3-game homestand after playing 4 of 5 on the road. It’ll be a time to regroup and refocus after having some humble pie served.
