The return of Jack Hughes is a welcomed sight for Devils fans and bettors, and it makes us only feel better about offense coming down the tracks. New Jersey home games over the past 45 days are averaging 7.9 goals per game, and the Flames offense has been feisty, averaging 3.9 per game on the road in the last month and a half. That should lead to scoring on both ends, and five of the past seven meetings between these teams have seen 7+ goals.

This wasn't hugely on my radar until the news that Devils star Jack Hughes would return from a long injury absence and that fellow top-line forward Tyler Toffoli is expected to play after missing the last game due to illness. Maybe we get lucky and Calgary starts backup Dan Vladar in net, although I'm not counting on that. Just would make me like this a ton more as Flames No. 1 Jacob Markstrom is playing really well.
