This will be a tough test for the NJD. CHI has given us a bit of a break by playing Mrazek last night against a much tougher FLA opponent and rightfully saved their inferior goalie for the inferior opponent tonight.
As good as JH86 and Captain 3C are, it’s not like we’ve lost a player like Adam Fox here.
We also don’t have the tremendous depth up and down the lineup like the Rags do, so this is a very costly blow for us. And the NJD weren’t exactly anywhere near undefeated before we lost either player.
4-1 CHI
The NJD popgun offense will struggle to penetrate Soderbust and Bedard and Hallsy will run us out of the building. Both players are much better than anyone the NJD will have on the ice this evening.
