NEWARK—In the New Jersey Devils’ tilt with the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night, goaltender Jacob Markstrom was forced to leave the game with an injury.
On Wednesday, January 22nd, the Devils ended their four-game losing streak with a convincing 5-1 victory over the Bruins at Prudential Center. This performance showcased a much-needed spark and a renewed sense of determination.
New Jersey Devils forward Stefan Noesen will not play in Tuesday night's game against the Florida Panthers. After the team's morning skate, head coach Sheldon Keefe hinted that his lineup could change. "We've got a game-time decision or two that might impact the group," he said. "We will have to see how that plays out tonight."
