Montréal Canadiens - New Jersey Devils - Feb 24, 2024 | NHL.com NHL Gamecenter - Montréal Canadiens vs. New Jersey Devils, Feb 24, 2024 - summary, stats, boxscore, play by play, recap and more.
Nico Daws - Starting again Saturday Daws will guard the home net Saturday against the Canadiens, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact It'll be the seventh straight appearance for Daws with Vitek Vanecek (lower body) still unavailable. The 23-year-old Daws has lost back-to-back outings, allowing 11 goals on 44 shots in that span. He'll look to right the ship Saturday against a Montreal team averaging 2.74 goals per game.

Nathan Bastian - Lands on IR Bastian (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Impact Bastian will miss at least the next three games after being injured in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers. He has registered 12 points, 57 shots on goal and 144 hits in 54 games this season. New Jersey summoned Brian Halonen from AHL Utica on Friday for some additional forward depth.

Jack Hughes - Supplies only offense in loss Hughes scored his 18th goal of the season on a game-high 10 shots on net in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact The 22-year-old also chipped in a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating, impressive considering the final score. Hughes spoiled Igor Shesterkin's shutout bid with a little over two minutes left in the third period, but it was about the only highlight for the Devils on the night. Hughes needed a couple games to shake off the rust after missing most of January and the first game after the All-Star break due to an upper-body injury, but over the last six contests he's racked up three goals and six points while putting 41 shots on net.
FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Nico Daws - Burned by Blueshirts Daws made 13 saves in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact The poor numbers for Daws can be laid squarely at the feet of a Devils' defense that committed multiple turnovers and mental errors in its own zone, but that doesn't change the fact that the 23-year-old has given up 11 goals on only 44 shots over the last two games. The pressure is mounting on New Jersey to make a splash at the trade deadline and acquire a frontline goalie, but in the short term Daws may need a breather after starting six straight games and going 3-3-0 with a 3.19 GAA and .895 save percentage.

Colin Miller - Scratched for Thursday's loss Miller was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Miller was out of the lineup for the first time since Jan. 22, as the Devils went with Luke Hughes, John Marino, Jonas Siegenthaler, Simon Nemec, Brendan Smith and Kevin Bahl on defense. The personnel change didn't yield any improvement, as New Jersey continues to be held back by a lackluster power play, which ranks last in the league since the calendar flipped to 2024 and went 0-for-5 in Thursday's loss. Miller's possible return to the lineup won't help on the man advantage, as he has just six points in 35 appearances this season, none of which have come on the power play.
FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Holtz - Struggling to score Holtz finished with a minus-1 rating and one shot on goal in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers, and he has just two points in his last 13 games.
Impact Holtz snapped an 11-game goal drought in his previous game, Tuesday in Washington, but he failed to establish any momentum with that tally. The 22-year-old winger has a consistent spot in the lineup, having dressed for all 56 of New Jersey's games while scoring a career-high 24 points already, but his usage has been trending down. Holtz saw just 9:55 of ice time Thursday, marking the fourth time in the last five games that he has skated fewer than 10 minutes.

Nathan Bastian - Rough going Thursday Bastian (upper body) didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Rangers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Bastian was bloodied on a hit by Matt Rempe in the first period and quickly left the game. When he came back, Bastian got hit by Jacob Trouba and then fought the Rangers' captain. While Bastian finished the second period, he didn't come back for the third, and he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's contest versus the Canadiens.

Impact Daws will attempt to rebound after allowing six goals on 26 shots in a loss to Washington on Tuesday. He has a 6-7-0 record, 3.18 GAA and .903 save percentage in 13 contests this season. The Rangers, who are in a three-way tie for 11th offensively this year, might be a difficult adversary for Daws.
