Devils with strong sign of life
Good week for Nico and the New Jersey Devils. Taking on the likes of Calgary (2-1 OT), Edmonton (2-1), Vancouver (5-4) and Seattle (2-4), the Devils collected three wins and six points.
With 56 points through 52 games, the Devils currently sit in 13th place in the Eastern Conference, three points behind the eighth and final playoff spot. Personally, Nico recorded one goal and one assist this past week, while firing a total of five shots on goal. He finished the week a minus-3, while averaging 19:58 minutes of ice-time and prevailing in 50.2 % of his faceoffs.
After returning from the Pacific Northwest, New Jersey will continue its regular season schedule with a home game against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night, before hosting the Preds forty-eight hours later. The Devils will conclude their week with a Saturday night visit to Ottawa. All three of their games will have a 7 PM EST starting time.
