DEVILS (34-13-4) vs. WILD (27-20-4)

Head-to-Head
The Devils and Wild meet for the first time this season. Minnesota won both contests last season, including a 5-2 mark at home. Tomas Tatar (1g-1a), Dougie Hamilton (2a) and Nico Hischier (2) led the Devils in series scoring. Minnesota's Ryan Hartman has two goals and four points while Kirill Kaprizov has three points (2g-1a).

Devils Team Scope
The Devils picked up right where they left off following the All-Star break, winning back-to-back home games against Vancouver and Seattle to improve to 10-1-1 in their past 11 games. The Devils rank second in the Metro Division, four points behind Carolina.

The Devils are without All-Star Jack Hughes, who is out with an upper-body injury. He ranks third in the NHL with 35 goals to go with his team-best 67 points. Defenseman Dougie Hamilton has a six-game scoring streak for 13 points (5g-8a), including seven assists in the past four contests. Goaltender Vitek Vanecek is on a career-long 10-game winning streak.

Wild Team Scope
Minnesota is fighting for its playoff life. The club sits in the final Wild Card position with 58 points (27-20-4), earning a tie-breaker with Calgary, which has the same point total. But Minnesota has won only twice in its past eight contests, including a 5-1 setback to Vegas on Thursday.

Kirill Kaprizov leads the team in goals (29), assists (33) and points (62). Mats Zuccarello and Joel Eriksson Ek, who posted his 100th career assists against Vegas, each have 19 goals. Marc-Andre Fleury has shouldered the load in goal, going 16-12-3 on the year. Fleury, whose 972 games played is fourth all-time in NHL history, was pulled after the second period against the Golden Knights.

By the Numbers
The Devils have the best road record in the NHL with a 19-3-2 mark.

Minnesota has converted 30.7 percent (23 of 75) of power-play chances at home this season, second-best in the NHL.

So Holtz is sitting yet again, while the corpse of miles wood stays in and that pile of shit first line that’s sucked for a while stays together.

I’m so ready for ruff to be gone.

And regarding Holtz, either use him in a trade and force the meier trade to happen faster, or f***ing send him down already. This one game in a month bullshit while way worse players continue to be coddled by a dinosaur of a coach is not helping.

I think the BMW line has been better the last couple games but the usage is the biggest problem. They get overplayed and relied on too much cause couple years ago they were elite at what they did. For whatever reason Ruff thinks its a shutdown line eventhough they get pinned so often. Especially at home Ruff uses them in a very dinosaur coach kinda way.

Wood can stink it up with impunity every single game but Holtz goes right back to the bench after playing once in forever. I really don’t understand this shit. When has player ever been developed like this?

He hadn’t played hockey in a month (his last previous game was 1/7), I’m not sure what Ruff expected from Holtz.

I’ve rolled with this for most of the year, and assumed they have a plan but yeah, this is silly.

He’s not going to play that well if you throw him into one random game, no one would.

Last game there were multiple times Holtz covered for defenseman and prevented odd man rushes while other lines had none of the forwards cover for defenseman causing odd man rushes. I’m guessing he feels like he had a better defensive game than some other forwards.

So if I’m Holtz I’m probably feeling like I have to play almost to perfection, create offense, and play defense to a degree greater than other players just to play the next game. That’s a tough mindset to be in.
