Devils lineup tonight: New Jersey’s projected lineup for game against the Winnipeg Jets

Tonight, the New Jersey Devils will collide with the Winnipeg Jets with the hopes of snapping a two-game skid. While the Devils have shown, at times, that they have what it takes to be one of the best teams in the NHL, the team has struggled to find their rhythm as of late, winning just two of their last five.

With back-to-back losses to Vegas, and most recently, Dallas, the team will be looking to get back in the win column tonight against a Winnipeg Jets team that's fresh off a 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Heading into tonight's game, New Jersey is in third place in the Metropolitan Division with 72 points, putting them four points ahead of the fourth-place Blue Jackets. On the flip side, Winnipeg is sitting comfortably atop the Central Division, six points ahead of the Stars.
