The New Jersey Devils lost 3-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night, going down 0-2 in the first-round series. With a heavily depleted lineup, particularly on defense, the Devils put together a much better effort than in game one,

Carolina tends to split matchup minutes between Jarvis and Aho on the top line and Jordan Staal on the third. Against a Jack Hughes-less Devils team, Staal (and potentially Stankoven and Jordan Martinook, depending on how the lines shake out) may start with that burden to free up Jarvis and Aho to cook a bit more offensively.
