New Jersey brings a 12-5-0 record and a four-game winning streak to Scotiabank Arena against a Toronto team searching for a reset.
New Jersey arrives at Scotiabank Arena with a 12-5-0 record and four straight wins, while Toronto is 8-8-2 and has lost its last two. The gap shows in the power index, where the Devils rank sixth at 76.8 and the Leafs sit 17th at 57.9. Toronto’s Auston Matthews leads his team with 26 points in 15 games, while New Jersey’s Jack Hughes has 22 points in 15; their production could shape a matchup between Toronto’s top-end scoring and the Devils’ winning momentum. The Leafs need Matthews and William Nylander, who has 19 points, to drive the attack, while New Jersey can keep the edge by sustaining the form behind its four-game streak.
