A look at previous meeting between the Devils and Golden Knights, as well as upcoming games on New Jersey's schedule

Heading into the Devils-Golden Knights matchup, Vegas likely has the kind of confidence that comes from knowing they were able to pick up a win over the Devils just a few weeks ago.

In what was their first of two regular-season meetings on Feb. 6, the Golden Knights were able to pick up a 3-1 win on the road, which saw Jack Eichel, Nicolas Roy and Shea Theodore find the back of the net.

The game also notably saw netminder Adin Hill post a 93.3% save percentage as he turned away 14 of a possible 15 shots, while Vegas' offense kept New Jersey goalie Jake Allen busy all night long with 40 attempts.

Following Sunday's game, the Devils will head to Dallas for a showdown with the Stars on Tuesday, before heading back home for a game with the Winnipeg Jets on Friday.
