PREVIEW

DEVILS (30-28-4) vs. BLUES (32-27-3)

Head-to-Head

The Devils and Blues meet for the second and final time this season, and only meeting in New Jersey. The Blues notched a 4-1 victory on Nov. 3 in Missouri.

St. Louis’ Kevin Hayes posted two goals and three points in the game while goalie Jordan Binnington stopped 33 of 34 shots. Curtis Lazar had the lone Devils goal.

Devils Team Scope:

The Devils continue their quest for a playoff spot. The team is eight points back of both the second Wild Card (Tampa) and the third Metro (Philadelphia) with 20 games remaining on the calendar.

Travis Green has taken the helm as interim head coach with Lindy Ruff being relieved of his duties. The team lost its opening game, 5-3, with Green behind the bench to the Florida Panthers Tuesday night.

The Devils are led on offense by Jesper Bratt’s 64 points on 22 goals and 42 assists. Jack Hughes is right behind him with 21 goals and 59 points, even though he’s missed 16 games this season due to injury. Captain Nico Hischier has 20 goals on the year, his fourth career 20-goal campaign. Forward Tyler Toffoli leads the club with 26 goals.

Blues Team Scope:

The Blues are fighting for their playoff lives. They are in the third Wild Card position, but sitting six points behind both Nashville and Vegas. St. Louis is in the midst of a five-game road trip through the East Coast. This is the third leg of that stop.

Robert Thomas leads the team in scoring with 69 points on 20 goals and 49 assists. He’s followed by Pavel Buchnevich and Jordan Kyrou (both with 48 points). Blueliner Tory Krug paces the backend with 29 assists and 32 points. Goaltender Jordan Binnington is 22-16-3 with a 2.83 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.

By the Numbers:

Forward Timo Meier has a three-game goal streak (3g) and a four-game point streak (3g-2a).

Since Jan. 11 the Blues power play is 21 for 79 (26.6%).

New Jersey police chief faces felony charges in Massachusetts, Totowa mayor says

The police chief of Totowa, New Jersey, is facing felony charges related to an incident in Massachusetts, according to the borough’s mayor.

Mayor John Coiro said Sunday that Chief Carmen Veneziano was in custody at the Bergen County jail after an extradition hearing over charges that are “serious in nature and considered felonies.”

Coiro said Veneziano was detained Friday and he is now awaiting transport to Massachusetts, where he will appear before a judge on charges stemming from an incident that occurred in September.

“While I did not see the exact charges in writing, the [Passaic County] Prosecutor’s Office did relay to me that these charges were serious in nature and considered felonies,” Coiro said in a statement.

The mayor said he suspended Veneziano without pay until the legal process plays out.

“Please know that the Totowa Police Department will continue to operate effectively in providing services to our community,” he said.

An interim police chief will be appointed, the mayor said.
