New Jersey Devils team news & key players
Meanwhile, the Devils have kicked off their season with a strong start, with their attack paving the way by scoring 14 goals across four games. Stefan Noesen and Paul Cotter have led the charge, combining for five goals and five assists, while Erik Haula, Timo Meier, and Jesper Bratt have added three goals and seven assists to deepen the offensive threat. From the point, defensemen Johnathan Kovacevic and Seamus Casey have contributed three goals and two assists, boosting the team’s offensive versatility.
Though the Devils' offense has been firing on all cylinders, their defense has also held firm, conceding only nine goals through the first four games. Dougie Hamilton and Jonas Seigenthaler have formed a reliable top pairing, with Kovacevic, Casey, and Brenden Dillon providing strong support by forcing turnovers across the rink and limiting shots on target. Goalie Jacob Markstrom has been solid between the pipes, stopping 77 of the 85 shots he's faced to keep the Devils' defense in check.
Utah Hockey Club team news & key players
The Utah Hockey Club has burst out of the gates with an impressive offensive performance, tallying 16 goals in their opening three games. Clayton Keller, Dylan Guenther, and Logan Cooley have set the pace for the top lines, racking up eight goals and eight assists between them. Beyond their contributions, the rest of the offense has been equally sharp. Barrett Hayton, Nick Schmaltz, and Lawson Crouse have combined for five goals and seven assists, while defensemen Mikhail Sergachev and Sean Durzi have chipped in five assists from the blue line to further ignite the attack.
Despite this offensive firepower, Utah's defense has shown some cracks, conceding 11 goals so far, including nine over the past two matchups. Though Durzi and Sergachev have anchored the top defensive pair, the rest of the unit has struggled to close gaps, allowing opponents too many clean looks at the net. Goaltender Connor Ingram is also aiming to tighten up his game, having allowed 11 goals on just 87 shots.
