Impact Allen is coming off a 23-save performance in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Detroit. He has a 3-1-0 record and has stopped 92 of 104 shots in four appearances this season. Washington (4-3-0) sits 10th in the league with 3.43 goals per game this campaign.

Luke Evangelista - Won't travel with team Evangelista (illness) won't travel with the team ahead of Saturday's game against Washington, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Evangelista will be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup as he continues to deal with a fever, but the Devils are hopeful that he'll be able to return for Tuesday's game against Colorado. The 24-year-old has recorded two goals, an assist, four blocked shots, four PIM and a hit while averaging 17:13 of ice time over his first five appearances of the regular season.

New Jersey visits Washington after Hughes' 2-goal game

The New Jersey Devils visit the Washington Capitals after Luke Hughes scored two goals in the Devils' 7-1 win over the New York Rangers

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Amadeus Lombardi - Adds pair of helpers Lombardi notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Lombardi is up to three helpers over seven contests to begin his rookie year. The 23-year-old forward had added 14 shots on net, eight PIM and three hits from a fourth-line role. Lombardi's potential will be limited in the bottom six, but he has done well with the playing time he's been given so far.

Dawson Mercer - Puts up two assists Mercer logged two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Mercer's offense is starting to surface -- he has three helpers over his last two games. The 24-year-old forward had gone five contests without a point to start the season. Mercer has added 18 shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He's in a top-six role, so he should have plenty of opportunities to contribute, but his overall usage, particularly on the power play, is down to start 2026-27.

Brett Pesce - Bags pair of apples Pesce notched two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Pesce ended his scoring slump to begin the year. The 31-year-old had gone six games without a point despite seeing steady top-four minutes. Through seven outings, he's added seven shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. Pesce has missed the 20-point mark in three straight years after reaching it five times over his first eight seasons in the NHL. He carries little fantasy appeal as more of a defensive presence.

Dougie Hamilton - Garners pair of assists Hamilton logged two assists, including one while shorthanded, and added two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Hamilton had his first multi-point effort of the campaign in this blowout. The 33-year-old defenseman was able to contribute a shorthanded point for the first time since the 2020-21 campaign when he was with the Hurricanes. He's yet to add anything on the power play from the second unit. Hamilton has four points, 21 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and eight hits across seven outings this season.

Arseny Gritsyuk - Three points in last four games Gritsyuk scored a goal in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Gritsyuk's wrist shot from the right circle chased Rangers starter, Dylan Garand, from the crease. The young winger has three points, including two goals, in his last four games, and his totals are sure to climb with Jack Hughes as his center 5v5 and a role on the second power play.

Nico Hischier - First even-strength goal this season Hischier scored in a 7-1 win over the Rangers on Thursday.

Impact It was Hischier's first even-strength goal this season and fourth snipe overall (one assist; nine shots). All five of his points have come in the last five games. Hischier is a strong and consistent 65-70 point producer, and he's averaged 30 goals over the last four seasons. He's also a strong power-play producer and an excellent face-off man (56.1 percent). Hischier is a steady, high-floor pivot who will help in every format.

Timo Meier - Two assists but still no goals so far Meier picked up two assists Thursday in a 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact He also delivered four hits in 14:30. The 30-year-old Meier still doesn't have a goal this season (three assists in seven games) but not for a lack of trying. He has 27 shots. Meier will get on the board soon. He has averaged 30 goals a season over his last five, but it's important to note that there's a trend in that span that we don't like. Meier has been flirting with the law of diminishing returns in the last three seasons, steadily increasing his shot volume (207 to 239 to 269) and finding twine less and less over time (28 to 26 to 24). Dynasty managers need to assess options sooner rather than later, lest you get stuck with a diminishing asset. But wait until he cranks out a few snipes first.

Stefan Noesen - Goal, assist in two games since call-up Noesen scored a goal Thursday in a 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Noesen has a goal and an assist in two games since his call-up from Utica (AHL) as the Devils 13th forward. He played in 38 games for New Jersey in 2025-26, scoring three goals and four assists, and adding 33 PIM and a minus-12 rating. Noesen's deployment is temporary with Luke Evangelista (illness) and Connor Brown (lower body) out short term.

Cody Glass - First career shorthanded goal Glass scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact It was the journeyman pivot's first career shorthanded goal in the NHL. The 27-year-old Glass is coming off what can only be described as an outlier year -- 19 goals, seven assists, 104 shots and 39 PIM. That kind of goal production is all but impossible as the Devils fourth-line center, and come 2027, Nick Bjugstad (pectoral) will return and change the depth chart. Glass may be the odd man out or moved to the wing.
