The New Jersey Devils' promising start has faltered, with the team managing just two wins in their last 11 games. Despite the roster's potential, highlighted by General Manager Tom Fitzgerald's efforts, the Devils find themselves struggling offensively, scoring only 20 goals in that period. Key players like Jesper Bratt and Timo Meier have underperformed, contributing just one goal collectively in 2025.

The team's five-on-five game has also been a concern, controlling a mere 47.8% of expected goals, a stark contrast to their earlier performance. As they navigate through this slump, the question arises: which player will step up to lead the Devils back to form?
