Scores game-winner Thursday Nemec scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Nemec was scratched for the previous two games, but he replaced Dennis Cholowski in the lineup Thursday. The 21-year-old Nemec came up clutch with the game-winning tally at 8:25 of the third period. While he saw just 9:58 of ice time, the blueliner has a chance to carve out a regular role for himself over the last month of the regular season. Nemec has been limited to two points with 12 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances this season. He should play a fair amount since Jonas Siegenthaler (lower body) and Dougie Hamilton (lower body) are both done for the regular season.

Impact This figures to be the first of many multi-point games for Nemec, whom the Devils selected with the second overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The Devils are putting a lot of faith in the 19-year-old by planting the defenseman on the top pair and having him work on the No. 2 power-play unit, though the lofty assignment has a lot to do with Dougie Hamilton being out long-term with a pectoral injury. Nonetheless, Nemec is holding down the fort based on two goals, five assists, and 34 blocked shots through 16 games.

Stands out in debut Nemec registered two assists and three shots on goal in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Nemec set up Dawson Mercer's first-period power-play goal and an even-strength tally by Ondrej Palat in the third. This was a solid debut for Nemec, who led the Devils' blueliners with 22:38 of ice time in his NHL debut. The 19-year-old should be on the radar in all fantasy formats with Dougie Hamilton (pectoral) on injured reserve indefinitely. Nemec and Luke Hughes are poised to battle for power-play time, but there's now enough room for both of them to also see top-four minutes at even strength.
