John Marino - Nets game-winner Marino scored a goal and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

He was able to finish off a play at 17:43 of the third period for the decisive tally, his first game-winning goal since 2020-21. The 26-year-old has four tallies this season, three of which have come over his last nine contests. Marino is at 16 points, 41 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 48 appearances.

Impact Mercer's goal put the Devils ahead 3-1 in the second period.

The 22-year-old forward has 14 goals, 24 points, 85 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 48 contests as a solid secondary scorer in a middle-six role.

Impact Haula was away from the team to welcome his second child prior to the All-Star break. He showed off some dad strength in his return, earning his third multi-point effort since the start of January while snapping a six-game goal drought. The 32-year-old is up to 25 points, 86 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-1 rating through 42 contests. Haula continues to play as a middle-six center, though he could move down the lineup or onto the wing once Jack Hughes (upper body) returns.

Jesper Bratt - Reaches 20-goal mark Bratt scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Bratt extended his point streak to five games (four goals, two assists) with a second-period tally. He also assisted on a John Marino marker in the third. This was Bratt's first multi-point effort since Dec. 29, but he remains one of the Devils' most effective forwards. On the year, the winger has 20 goals, 52 points, 149 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 48 appearances. He's reached the 20-goal mark three years in a row and could still challenge his career high of 32 tallies from last season.

Vitek Vanecek - Defeats Avalanche Vanecek stopped 35 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Vanecek faced a tough test, but outside of giving up two goals in 29 seconds in the third period, he fared well. The 28-year-old has won three of his last four starts despite allowing 13 goals in that span. He's now at 17-8-2 with a 3.23 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 30 outings this season. Vanecek and Nico Daws were splitting starts just before the All-Star break, but it's possible Vanecek is given a chance to reclaim the No. 1 job soon. The Devils host the Flames on Thursday.
