The Mixed Bag | DEVILS MINUTE | New Jersey Devils There will be many different faces in the New Jersey Devils lineup tonight in Game 82, as several regulars rest in anticipation of the posts...

4 HOURS AGO • NHL.COM

Johnathan Kovacevic - Ruled out against Detroit Kovacevic has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Red Wings for rest purposes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Kovacevic appeared in each of the Devils' first 81 games of the year, recording a goal, 16 assists, 102 hits, 99 blocked shots and 72 PIM while averaging 19:49 of ice time. He'll get a night off to close out the regular season, but he should be back on the ice when New Jersey begins postseason play.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Brett Pesce - Set to rest Wednesday Pesce (rest) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's season finale against Detroit, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.

Impact Pesce will conclude the regular season with three goals, 17 points, 29 PIM, 24 hits and 138 blocks in 72 appearances. He should be back for Game 1 of the Devils' first-round series, which will be against his former team, the Hurricanes.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Luke Hughes - Won't play vs. Detroit Hughes (rest) won't play in Wednesday's season finale versus Detroit, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Hughes will presumably return to the lineup for Game 1 of New Jersey's first-round series against Carolina. He'll finish his sophomore campaign with seven goals and 44 points in 71 outings. That's close to his 47-point showing in 2023-24 despite playing in fewer games -- he logged 82 in 2023-24 -- and seeing a major drop in power-play ice time -- he averaged 1:38 this season compared to 3:27 as a rookie.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Stefan Noesen - Ruled out for Wednesday's game Noesen has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Red Wings for rest purposes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Noesen made 78 appearances for the Devils this year, but he'll rest for the second time in three games to close out the regular season. He recorded 22 goals, 19 assists, 152 hits, 26 blocked shots and 54 PIM while averaging 15:56 of ice time this season, making it one of the best years of his career. The 32-year-old should be heavily involved when the Devils begin postseason play.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Timo Meier - Will rest Wednesday Meier (rest) will skip the Devils' season finale versus Detroit on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Meier will finish 2024-25 with 26 goals and 53 points across 80 appearances. It's his fourth straight season of at least 25 goals and 50 points. Meier should draw back into the lineup for Game 1 of the Devils' first-round series against Carolina.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jesper Bratt - Won't play against Detroit Bratt won't play in Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Red Wings due to rest purposes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Bratt had appeared in each of the Devils' first 81 games of the season, and he put together a career-best year, logging 21 goals, 67 assists, 96 hits, 42 blocked shots and 18 PIM while averaging 18:57 of ice time. He'll get a breather to close out the regular season since New Jersey's playoff positioning has already been decided, but he should reclaim a prominent role once the postseason begins.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nico Hischier - Gets game off Hischier (rest) will get Wednesday's season finale against Detroit off, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Hischier will complete the 2024-25 campaign with 35 goals and 69 points in 75 appearances. He's missing out on a chance to reach the 70-point mark for the second time in his career, but Hischier has already established a new career high in goals. The 26-year-old should be back in the lineup for Game 1 of the Devils' first-round series against Carolina.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nico Daws - Starting regular-season finale Daws will draw the home start against the Red Wings on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Daws was called up by the Devils on Wednesday, and he'll officially draw the start in the team's regular-season finale, while Jake Allen will serve as the backup. Daws has made five appearances for New Jersey this year, going 3-0-0 with a 0.88 GAA and .966 save percentage, but he'll likely head back to the AHL ahead of the playoffs.

5 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dougie Hamilton - Ready to return Hamilton (lower body) will return to the Devils' lineup Wednesday versus Detroit, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact This will give Hamilton a chance to shake off the rust ahead of the Devils' first-round series against Carolina. Hamilton was last in the lineup March 4. He has nine goals, 40 points, 74 hits and 81 blocks in 63 appearances in 2024-25. The 31-year-old is likely to serve in a top-four capacity and feature on the first power-play unit in his return.

Marc McLaughlin - First point with new team McLaughlin logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact McLaughlin won a faceoff and Simon Nemec's shot was sharp to give the Devils a 3-2 lead in the second period. This was McLaughlin's Devils debut after he was acquired from the Bruins at the trade deadline. The 25-year-old has a total of three points, 13 shots on net and 26 hits across 13 NHL appearances this season. He is unlikely to see significant usage in the playoffs -- if he makes the lineup at all, it'll be in a fourth-line role.

Luke Hughes - Adds pair of helpers Hughes notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Hughes has racked up a goal and five helpers over his last seven contests. The 21-year-old may see a reduction in power-play time once Dougie Hamilton (lower body) returns. Hughes has put together a strong campaign with seven goals, 44 points, 121 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 71 outings while filling a top-four role most of the time.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nico Hischier - Supplies two power-play assists Hischier logged two power-play assists and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Hischier has gone four games without a goal but still has three assists in that span. This was his fifth multi-point effort over his last 12 outings, a span in which he has seven goals and nine assists. Overall, the first-line center is at 35 goals, 34 helpers, 187 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 75 appearances. If Hischier stays in the lineup for Wednesday's season finale versus the Red Wings, he'll have a chance to reach the 70-point mark for the second time in his eight-year career.
