Storyline to Watch

The storyline to watch is that Wednesday’s game marks the second time this season the two rivals have faced off. Dawson Mercer spoke about how he’s feeling ahead of the game with NJD.tv.

“It’s been a while, but it’s always one you’re excited for. It’s a good rink,” Mercer said. “It’s nice with the rivalry and we’re pretty close to home. So, it’s a good feeling just to head over there. And we usually have a pretty good game against those guys.”

Player to Watch

Jack Hughes is the player to watch after a four-point performance, including a hat trick, in the last meeting. He recently reached 400 NHL points and has 15 in his last ten games.

​The puck will drop at 7 PM.
