Devils' Jake Allen: On wrong side of shutout
Allen allowed three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Allen received no help in this contest, taking his second consecutive defeat. The Devils did well to keep the Avalanche's best players mostly quiet, but the middle-six made the difference. Allen is now 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 10 starts this season. Jacob Markstrom is likely to get the start Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Devils' Jake Allen: Starting vs. Avs
Allen will guard the home net Sunday against Colorado, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.
Allen will make just his second start in seven games, having allowed six goals on 32 shots in a loss to Washington in his last appearance. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder is 5-3-1 with a .903 save percentage and 2.70 GAA while backing up Jacob Markstrom this season.

Devils' Brenden Dillon: Nabs helper in win
Dillon produced an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Dillon helped out on a Jesper Bratt goal in the second period. The helper was Dillon's first point in five games. The 34-year-old defenseman has occupied a top-four role for much of the season, though his average ice time is 18:26 through 29 contests. He won't add a ton of offense -- he has seven points and 17 shots on net to go with 75 hits, 51 blocked shots, 37 PIM and a plus-7 rating as a physical presence on the blue line.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Tallies in Friday's win
Hughes scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Hughes was credited with the Devils' first goal, which bounced in off a Kraken player. The goal was his first of the year, and he's been hot lately with six helpers over the previous six contests. The 21-year-old blueliner is up to nine points, 30 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 20 outings overall.

Devils' Jesper Bratt: Extends scoring streak Friday
Bratt notched a goal and an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Bratt has recorded at least one point in four games in a row, and he's notched at least one goal and one helper in his last three appearances. With four multi-point games across his previous eight outings, there's no question Bratt is going through his most productive stretch of the campaign. The 26-year-old has been one of New Jersey's most productive players in 2024-25, recording 13 goals and 24 assists in only 29 games.

Devils' Jack Hughes: Extends impressive scoring run
Hughes notched two assists in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Hughes didn't find the back of the net in this one, but the star center continues to produce at a very high rate for the Devils in his role as a playmaker. The 23-year-old has posted four straight multi-point performances, leaving his three-game pointless drought from Nov. 23 to Nov. 27 in the rearview. Hughes is on pace to average more than one point per game for a fourth consecutive season. He's up to 11 goals and 35 points over 29 contests in 2024-25.

Devils' Timo Meier: Makes history with goal Friday
Meier scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Meier, who netted the 200th goal of his NHL career, continues to find ways to produce in his steady top-six role. The 28-year-old left winger has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last five appearances, posting two goals and four assists in that stretch. This time, he scored the game-winning goal 53 seconds into the final period with a tip-in into the open net. The Swiss forward has nine goals and 11 assists on the season, and he should remain a steady producer for New Jersey as a member of the second line both on even strength and the power play.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Extends winning streak
Markstrom stopped 17 of 19 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
The 34-year-old Swedish netminder gave up goals in the first and second periods, but a third-period tally from Timo Meier extended his winning streak to three games. Markstrom has come out on top in four of his last five starts, going 4-1-0 with a 2.40 GAA and a .906 save percentage in that span. However, he's posted a save percentage below the .910 mark in four of those five outings, so there might be some cause for concern for fantasy managers.

Devils' Erik Haula: Ready to rock
Haula (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Friday against Seattle, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.
Haula was a no-show at practice Tuesday, leading to some speculation that he would be unable to play against the Kraken, but head coach Sheldon Keefe said Friday that Haula was good to go. Haula has five goals, six assists, 46 shots on goal and 44 hits across 28 games this season. He will line up on the third line alongside Tomas Tatar and Dawson Mercer, and he should also see power-play time with the second unit.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Suiting up Friday
Tatar (lower body) will be in the lineup to face Seattle on Friday, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.
Tatar returns following a two-game absence due to his lower-body injury. Prior to his absence, the veteran winger was finding his offensive stride with four points in his last five outings, including a pair of power-play points. With Tatar back in action, he figures to step into a third-line role playing alongside Erik Haula and Dawson Mercer.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Expected to start Friday
Markstrom is slated to defend the home crease versus Seattle on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom has won his last two starts and was outstanding against the Rangers on Monday, making 38 saves in a 5-1 win. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder is 12-6-1 with a 2.54 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 19 appearances with the Devils this season. He will face a tired Seattle team that beat the Islanders 5-2 on Thursday.

Devils' Mike Hardman: Dropped to minors
Hardman was reassigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
Hardman played in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers, registering two hits and two blocked shots in 8:24 of playing time during his NHL season debut. He has five goals and eight points in 10 AHL outings this season. If Hardman stays in the minors for Friday's game versus Seattle and Tomas Tatar (lower body) remains unavailable, Kurtis MacDermid will be an option to return to the lineup.

Devils' Erik Haula: Undergoing evaluation
Haula wasn't able to practice Tuesday and is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe did not rule Haula out for Friday's game against Seattle. The 33-year-old has not missed a game this season, and through 28 outings, Haula has chipped in five goals and six assists. The Finnish forward should be considered day-to-day.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Scores in Monday's win
Mercer scored a goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Mercer ended a seven-game goal drought, a span in which he had two assists. His tally Monday stood as the game-winner. Mercer is filling a middle-six role, earning 14 points, 45 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 28 appearances. While that's a better pace than he had in 2023-24 (33 points in 82 contests), his limited power-play role and lack of consistency put him on the edge of being a fantasy option in standard formats.

Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Two-point effort Monday
Hamilton picked up a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Both points came in the second period as the Devils put the game away. After a sluggish start to the season, Hamilton has been locked in over the last six weeks or so, piling up five goals and 21 points in the last 22 contests -- including four goals and 12 points with the man advantage.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Two helpers against Blueshirts
Hughes notched two assists in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
He helped set up what proved to be the game-winner by Dawson Mercer in the first period before feeding his older brother Jack Hughes for another tally in the second. It was the first multi-point performance of the season for Hughes the younger, and the 21-year-old blueliner has found his groove of late, with seven assists in the last nine contests. However, he's still looking for his first goal of 2024-25.
