Avalanche Face Devils in Non-Conference Matchup

The Pittsburgh Penguins have shown remarkable improvement after a challenging start to their season, winning five of their last six games against strong teams, thanks to pivotal performances from players like Tristan Jarry. This resurgence has brought them within one point of the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, with a slightly easier schedule ahead. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils are looking to extend their winning streak as they face the Colorado Avalanche, who recently broke a losing trend with a victory over the Detroit Red Wings. Key players for the Devils include Jesper Bratt and Jack Hughes, while the Avalanche will rely on Nathan MacKinnon and Valeri Nichushkin. Both teams have been performing well when they score at least three goals, setting the stage for a competitive non-conference matchup. The upcoming games will be crucial for both teams to maintain their momentum as they approach the holiday break.
