Timo Meier - Notches two points SundayMeier earned one goal and one assist Sunday in a 4-0 victory against the Islanders.
ImpactMeier's power-play goal early in the second period held up as the game-winner. He has compiled 13 goals and eight assists over his past 16 contests. Meier also racked up 19 PIMs in Sunday's contest, most of which came late in the second stanza after linemate Nico Hischier was the victim of a knee-on-knee hit from Anders Lee. Meier got two minutes for instigating, five for fighting and a 10-minute misconduct for going after Lee. The 27-year-old Meier has 23 goals, 43 points and 176 shots on net in 59 games this season.

Jack Hughes - One of each SundayHughes posted one goal and one assist in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
ImpactHughes assisted on Timo Meier's game-winning power-play goal in the first minute of the second period. The 22-year-old Hughes got his 24th tally of the season shortly afterward. He has been hot down the stretch, accumulating nine goals and 24 points over his last 22 outings. In 56 appearances this campaign, Hughes has amassed 24 goals, 69 points and 253 shots on net.

Ilya Sorokin - Losing streak continuesSorokin allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 4-0 loss to New Jersey on Sunday.
ImpactSorokin is mired in a six-game losing streak during which he has posted a 3.58 GAA and .881 save percentage. It certainly hasn't been all the netminder's fault, considering the Isles have failed to score a goal in three of those six defeats. Despite the slump, Sorokin will likely remain the preferred option in the crease ahead of Thursday's road clash with the Panthers.

Kaapo Kahkonen - Earns win over IslesKahkonen earned a shutout in Sunday's 4-0 victory against the Islanders, stopping all 36 shots faced.
ImpactIt was Kahkonen's first win for the Devils after joining the club at the trade deadline. Even with the strong performance, the 27-year-old Finn will likely remain the second choice option behind fellow trade acquisition Jake Allen. As such, Kahkonen won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value moving forward.
