The Devils and Panthers meet for the first time this season on Monday night. The two teams will play three times this season, with two games held in New Jersey. They won’t meet again until January 13, 2024, in Florida and will conclude their season series in Newark on March 5, 2024.
After starting the season 1-0-1 the Devils will close out their three-game, season-opening homestand on Monday night. In the opening two games, New Jersey has conceded the first goal of the game to their opponent, a trend the team is hoping to end on Monday night.
Jack Hughes leads the roster with five points (2g-3a) in two games, while Dougie Hamilton (2g-1a), Jesper Bratt (2g-1a) and Jonas Siegenthaler (0g-3a) all have three points to begin the year.
The Florida Panthers are still in search of their first win of the season. The Panthers have started their season on the road, with stops in Minnesota and Winnipeg. The Wild shut out the Panthers 2-0 and the Jets won out with a 6-4 scoreline. This is the first time since 2018 that Florida has started a season 0-2, and also the first time since 2010 the Panthers have lost two consecutive games in regulation to open a season.
