The Devils recently traveled to Washington, D.C., where they suffered a 2-1 loss to the Capitals. The Stars, on the other hand, had a setback on Sunday, falling 3-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights. Wyatt Johnston and Justin Hryckowian were the goal scorers for Dallas in that game. The last time these two teams met was on December 3, when the Devils suffered a 3-0 loss at The Rock. This loss marked the beginning of a five-game losing streak that contributed to the Devils' struggles in the standings. The Devils have had a difficult time against the Metropolitan Division this season, with a record of 6-13-2 after their recent loss to the Capitals. However, they have performed well against Western Conference teams, with a 19-10-0 record. The Western Conference has been weak this season, with the playoff cut line at 75 points. The Pacific Division is particularly struggling, with the Anaheim Ducks leading the division at 82 points. This context helps explain the Devils' strong performance against Western teams.
