Devils Look to Keep Rolling vs. Red Wings | PREVIEW | New Jersey Devils NEW JERSEY DEVILS (32-29-2) vs DETROIT RED WINGS (35-21-7) New Jersey plays the fourth game of a seven-game homestand when it hosts the Detr...
Dylan Larkin - Out for Sunday's contest Larkin (leg) will not play in Sunday's road clash against New Jersey.
Impact Head coach Todd McLellan ruled Larkin out for Sunday's contest, but he added that the center will be considered day-to-day ahead of each game of Detroit's four-game road trip until his return. Larkin picked up the injury in Friday's contest against Florida and will miss his first game of the season. Overall, the 29-year-old star has 28 goals, 27 assists, 190 shots on net, 34 hits and 31 blocked shots across 63 games this season. His next chance to return to action is Tuesday against the Panthers.

Jacob Bernard-Docker - Playing time likely to slip Bernard-Docker's point drought reached 10 games in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Bernard-Docker has played in 26 consecutive games, but he has just three assists, 11 shots on net, a plus-8 rating, 30 hits and 45 blocked shots in that span. The Red Wings' trade for Justin Faulk will almost certainly cost Bernard-Docker playing time, though Travis Hamonic and Axel Sandin-Pellikka are also likely to rotate in and out of the lineup at times. With just four helpers over 47 contests in 2025-26, Bernard-Docker's drop in playing time won't be noticed in fantasy.

Michael Rasmussen - Cold on offense Rasmussen's point drought reached 19 games in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.
Impact This is the low point of the season so far for Rasmussen, who skated a season-low 7:43 in Friday's loss. The 26-year-old is on the fourth line and plays a decent physical game, but he won't be a factor in fantasy without a little offense. He has just 14 points with 61 shots on net, 59 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 58 appearances.

Alex DeBrincat - Nets lone goal in loss DeBrincat scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.
Impact DeBrincat extended his point streak to four games (three goals, three assists). This was his first power-play contribution since Jan. 18 versus the Senators. The 28-year-old winger is up to 33 goals, 63 points (18 on the power play), 218 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 63 appearances. He's playing near the upper range of his abilities this season, giving him a chance to reach the 80-point mark for the first time.

Justin Faulk - Expected to play Sunday Faulk is slated to play in New Jersey on Sunday. Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Impact Faulk was dealt from St. Louis to Detroit on Friday and will meet the Red Wings in New Jersey. He had 11 goals, 21 assists, 102 blocked shots and 49 hits across 61 appearances with St. Louis, prior to the trade.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
John Gibson - Gets little help in loss Gibson stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Impact All three Panther tallies were scored by Matthew Tkachuk. Gibson otherwise looked solid in his return from a minor upper-body injury that only cost him one game, and he's allowed more than three goals only once in 17 outings since the calendar flipped to 2026, going 10-5-1 with a stellar 1.99 GAA and .924 save percentage since the beginning of January.
