Head to Head
The teams split their two meetings last season, with New Jersey winning 2-1 in a shootout on their most recent visit to Vegas.
Vegas Golden Knights Form
Vegas are 9-4-1 but have won only two of their last five games, despite maintaining an impressive 6-2 home record.
The Golden Knights returned to winning ways with a 4-1 victory over Ottawa on Tuesday, following a 2-1 overtime defeat against Columbus. Their attack continues to produce, averaging 3.64 goals per game.
Special teams remain a concern, particularly a penalty kill operating at just 67.6%. Carter Hart is also day-to-day, leaving Adin Hill as the likely starter, while several injuries have reduced Vegas' defensive and forward depth.
New Jersey Devils Form
New Jersey have opened 8-5-0 and won four of their last five, with their high-volume attack proving difficult to contain.
The Devils beat Dallas 5-1 on Tuesday, with Hischier scoring twice, before suffering a 5-2 defeat in Colorado on Wednesday. New Jersey were outshot 45-22 against the Avalanche, a rare reversal of their usual territorial advantage.
Hischier has been particularly dangerous with seven goals and 32 shots this season. Gritsyuk has also impressed, recording ten points and finding the scoresheet in eight of his last ten games.
Seamus Casey remains sidelined, while the starting goaltender is yet to be confirmed. Jake Allen made 40 saves against Colorado, with Connor Hellebuyck another option for New Jersey.
Verdict
New Jersey Devils to win, including overtime and shootouts, is the preferred selection against a Vegas side struggling on the penalty kill. Arseny Gritsyuk 1+ point and Nico Hischier 3+ shots on goal complete the card.
