The New Jersey Devils went a little further south after their trip to Montreal. They made a stop in Philadelphia to take on the Flyers on Jan. 27 before they would head back home.

Artem Zub and Zack Ostapchuk each scored a goal and Anton Forsberg stopped 25 shots to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils.

Lazar accounted for an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Ottawa. Lazar set up Tomas Tatar's fourth goal of 2024-25 in the middle frame, tying the score at 1-1.

On Sunday (Jan. 19), the New Jersey Devils left the ice to a chorus of boos as they dropped a ninth contest in their last 11 games. Just a few weeks ago, they were neck-and-neck with the top teams in the league.

The New Jersey Devils will face the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Monday night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The Devils held a morning skate at 11:30 a.m.

With New Jersey Devils captain Nico Hischier out of the lineup, Dawson Mercer will start Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Flyers as the team's second-line center. "To me, (Mercer) was outstanding in the third period the other night in Montreal when we asked him to step into that role," head coach Sheldon Keefe said to NJD.TV.

PHILADELPHIA—Not only were the New Jersey Devils minus their No.1 goaltender against the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday, but they were without their captain, too.

The New Jersey Devils defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in overtime on Saturday night at the Bell Centre. The Devils controlled most of the play, especially in the first and third periods, where they nearly doubled Montreal’s shot total.

The New Jersey Devils visit the Montreal Canadiens for the first time this season, to begin a two-game road trip. You can watch on MSGSN2 or listen on the Devils Hockey Network. Read below for your game preview and pre-game story below.
