The New Jersey Devils (42-32-7) host the Detroit Red Wings (38-35-7) at the Prudential Centre on Wednesday in a matchup between two teams who’ve struggled to generate consistent offence.
For Detroit, another postseason will come and go without an appearance. The Red Wings’ offensive issues continue to plague them, averaging just 2.87 goals per game. Their attack is overly reliant on the top lines—Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, and Alex DeBrincat have combined for 93 goals and 121 assists—but the depth scoring remains thin. Only five players have reached the 12-goal mark, allowing opposing defences to zero in on Detroit’s front-end firepower.
New Jersey, despite securing a playoff berth, hasn’t been much better offensively, netting just 2.95 goals per contest.
