The New Jersey Devils (9-10-4, 22 points, 7th in Metropolitan Division) will face off against the defending national champion Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena in D.C. for a Week 9 Metropolitan Division showdown on Friday night. Capitals host struggling Devils on Nov. 30 The Capitals (14-7-3, 2nd in Metropolitan Division) are on one of the hottest streaks in the league right now as they enter tonight's matchup with six back-to-back victories and look primed to stretch it to seven. The Devils are a whole other story, as they are coming off a three-game losing streak (two of which came on the road). The Devils are tied points-wise with the Philadelphia Flyers for last in the Metropolitan division and will need to figure things out quickly before the season gets away from them. Center Jean-Sebastien Dea was claimed by the Pittsburgh Penguins after the Devils put him on waivers yesterday. Dea ends his stint with the Devils with 3 goals, 2 assists and 27 shots in 20 games played. The Devils also announced that Michael McLeod has been called up to New Jersey. McLeod has put up 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) in 21 games for the minor league Binghamton Devils thus far. Most concerning of McLeod’s numbers are his shots, which he’s only amassed 25 of over his 21 games (1.2 per game). For reference, Dea had a shot rate of 1.35 in the NHL before being waived. Assuming he gets the start, this could be the 2016 first-rounder's NHL debut. #NJDevils news: JS Dea has been claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh.

Oshie is second highest scorer on the team with nine goals and 14 points. Star left wing Alex Ovechkin is leading the helm in the nation's capital with 18 goals and 28 points in 24 games. He’s scored in three games in a row and has six goals in his last six games. 30 SPORTS FIGURES WHO DIED IN 2018 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW Centerman Nicklas Backstrom and defenseman John Carlson have also been dominating offensively, feeding the team 22 and 21 assists, respectively, and 28 points. Jakub Vrana seems to have taken a step forward, with 14 points in 24 games, including six goals. The other defensemen that will be seen a lot are Matt Niskanen, Dmitry Orlov and Michal Kempny, with each averaging at least 18 minutes a game. TICKETS: WASHINGTON CAPITALS SEASON TICKETS Tom Wilson had a heck of a performance in the Caps' 4-1 assault against the New York Islanders Monday night. Wilson left the game with 2 goals, 6 shots on goal, 3 points and 1 assists. He has 12 points and 6 goals in 8 games. Big goal. Big hit.
