The New Jersey Devils<\/a>, now 12-4-1 after a commanding 5-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday, continue their road rampage against the Washington Capitals, holding at 8-8-1 with a 4-4-0 home record. New Jersey\u2019s blistering pace meets Washington\u2019s grit in what could define early divisional hierarchies.<\/p>\n

Sheldon Keefe\u2019s latest hurdle is figuring out his top-six with the unexpected loss of Jack Hughes,<\/a> who suffered an off-ice injury. The Capitals, galvanized by Tom Wilson (9G, 8A) and Dylan Strome (5G, 10A), lean on Logan Thompson\u2019s wall-like presence to fortify their beleaguered blue line.<\/p>\n
