Devils Seek 7th Win Against Sinking Sharks in NHL Matchup

The New Jersey Devils (6-1-0) aim for their seventh consecutive victory as they host the San Jose Sharks (1-4-2) at Prudential Center. The Devils have been dominant lately, winning six straight games, matching their second-longest streak in 14 years, and boasting a 96% success rate on power plays this season. Jesper Bratt continues to impress, extending his point streak to seven games with 11 points, and is on pace for a season-high 129 points. Meanwhile, the Sharks, who won their first game of the season last night with a 6-5 overtime victory over the Rangers, are struggling with a 1-4-2 record. The Sharks' young star Macklin Celebrini scored a hat trick in their recent game, but underlying advanced stats indicate he is still developing. The Devils, coming off a 4-1 win against Minnesota, are favored, but must avoid the trap game as they previously lost both matchups to San Jose last season. Key players include Devils' Bratt and Hischier, who has been effective against top competition, and Sharks' young guns like Celebrini and Will Smith. The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on MSGSN and Devils Hockey Radio.
