Devils' Dougie Hamilton: First point since return
Hamilton registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2.
This was Hamilton's third game back after a long-term, lower-body injury that cost him 18 contests. The 31-year-old has operated in a top-four role during the postseason, adding three shots on net, four hits and a blocked shot over the first two playoff games. He's also on the first power-play unit again, as Luke Hughes (upper body) was unable to play Tuesday. Hamilton is a solid DFS option even as the Devils look a little outmatched in this first-round series.

Devils' Jesper Bratt: Scores in Game 2 loss
Bratt scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2.
Bratt has been involved in both of the Devils' goals in the series, though that's not an encouraging level of team production. The 26-year-old winger has added six shots on net, two hits and a minus-3 rating. He'll continue to function in the top six and on the first power-play unit, but the Devils will need to get more scoring overall to avoid being one-and-done for this playoff run.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Gets little help in Game 2 loss
Markstrom stopped 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2 of their first-round series.
New Jersey grabbed a 1-0 lead early in the first period on a Jesper Bratt tally, but the game belonged to Carolina after that, with the game-winner coming on a Jordan Martinook shorthanded rush early in the second. Markstrom has played well to begin the postseason, giving up five goals on 71 shots, but that hasn't stopped the Devils from falling into an 0-2 hole. They'll try to turn things around when the series shifts to Jersey for Game 3 on Friday.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Looking to even series Tuesday
Markstrom will be between the road pipes against the Hurricanes on Tuesday in Game 2.
Markstrom handled his largest workload of the season in Game 1 on Sunday, turning aside 41 of 44 shots on net, but the Devils were able to muster up only one goal. It won't get any easier in Game 2, as New Jersey will be without Luke Hughes (upper body) and Brenden Dillon (lower body). Dennis Cholowski and Simon Nemec will make their playoff debuts due to those injuries, so Markstrom will need to be in top form in order to send the series back to New Jersey tied at 1-1.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Won't be an option Tuesday
Hughes is contending with an upper-body injury and will not be available Tuesday against Carolina in Game 2.
Hughes was nicked up in Game 1, though he was able to finish the contest, logging two shots, one block and a minus-1 rating in 22:20 of ice time. The Devils will also be without Brenden Dillon (lower body) on the blue line Tuesday, so Dennis Cholowski and Simon Nemec will suit up and make their postseason debuts. Hughes will look to be ready for Game 3 on Friday in New Jersey.

Devils' Cody Glass: In action versus Canes
Glass (lower body) will suit up for Game 2 against Carolina on Tuesday.
Glass will remain in the lineup after being forced to exit Game 1 on Sunday after just 9:04 of ice time. The 26-year-old center is currently mired in an 11-game goal drought during which he has registered three assists, nine shots and nine hits. With Glass back in action, he figures to slot into the third-line center role, which will keep Curtis Lazar in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Devils' Brenden Dillon: Not available for Game 2
Dillon (lower body) will not be in the lineup Tuesday against the Hurricanes in Game 2.
In addition to Dillon, Luke Hughes (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday -- Simon Nemec and Dennis Cholowski will draw into the lineup as a result. Head coach Sheldon Keefe did not relay if Dillon would be available for Game 3, which is Friday in New Jersey.

Devils' Jesper Bratt: Sets up lone goal in Sunday's loss
Bratt notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1.
Bratt set up a Nico Hischier tally late in the second period, but that was all the Devils could put on the board. Bratt had one game off at the end of the regular season for rest after going four contests without a point. The Devils have a tough first-round matchup, so they'll need Bratt to get back into the form that saw him rack up a career-high 88 points over 81 regular-season outings.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Nets goal in Game 1 loss
Hischier scored a goal, put three shots on net, and recorded three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1.
Hischier lit the lamp for New Jersey's lone goal Sunday late into the second period off a feed from linemate Jesper Bratt. While Hischier posted 69 points in 75 appearances in the regular season, he brought his hot streak offensively into the first game of the postseason as he now has 11 points in his last eight games. With Jack Hughes out for the season with a shoulder injury, Hischier will lead New Jersey's center unit and see plenty of ice time on the team's top line for the postseason.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Faces heavy workload in loss
Markstrom saved 41 of 44 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1.
Markstrom was put under pressure by Carolina's offense throughout the entire game. While he allowed three goals, he played well to save 41 shots including eight chances with a man disadvantage. He ended his first game of the postseason with a .932 save percentage. Markstrom had a strong regular season with 26-16-6 record but has lost his last three outings and is winless since New Jersey's April 5 matchup versus the Rangers. If the Devils' blue line can provide Markstrom with a stronger backing for the rest of the series, he should be in a better spot to turn the tides in New Jersey's favor.

Devils' Brenden Dillon: Exits Game 1 but wanted to return
Dillon suffered an undisclosed injury in the second period of Sunday's 4-1 loss to Carolina in Game 1 and did not return, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe relayed that Dillon was "eager to get back out there" after the blueliner left the contest, but Dillon was held back by the team's doctors. While it's positive news that Dillon wanted to return, it's possible he'll be a game-time decision for Game 2 on Tuesday. In the event that the 34-year-old is unable to suit up, Dennis Cholowski, Seamus Casey and Simon Nemec are candidates to play in Dillon's stead.

Devils' Cody Glass: Injured Sunday
Glass sustained an undisclosed injury in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Carolina in Game 1, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Glass logged two hits and a minus-1 rating in 9:04 of ice time prior to departing. The right-shot center should be considered day-to-day ahead of Game 2 on Tuesday. If he's forced to miss any time, Curtis Lazar or Tomas Tatar could draw back into the lineup.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Starting Game 1
Markstrom will defend the road net against Carolina on Sunday in Game 1, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.
Markstrom posted a 26-16-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 49 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. During that span, he went 2-1-0 versus the Hurricanes, allowing only seven goals on 83 shots. Carolina ranked ninth in the league in the regular season with 3.24 goals per game.

Devils' Jonas Siegenthaler: Not expected back in Round 1
Siegenthaler (lower body) isn't expected to play in New Jersey's first-round series against Carolina, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reported Friday.
Siegenthaler missed the final 27 games of the regular season, finishing with two goals, seven assists, 52 shots on net, 92 blocked shots and 75 hits in 55 appearances. Even if the Devils advance to Round 2 of the postseason, it's unclear if the 27-year-old defender will be an option to return to the lineup.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Slated to return for playoffs
Noesen (rest) participated in Friday's practice session and should be available for Sunday's Game 1 against Carolina, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Noesen missed two of the last three games of the regular season due to rest purposes, but he should return to the ice for the start of the playoffs. He racked up 22 goals, 19 assists, 152 hits and 54 PIM while averaging 15:56 of ice time over 78 regular-season appearances.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Back in lineup
Hughes (rest) will return to action for Game 1 in Carolina on Sunday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
The Devils rested all their top players Wednesday against Detroit as the game was meaningless as far as the regular season was concerned. Hughes had seven goals and 37 assists in 71 regular-season contests this season. He will likely be demoted to the second power play during the playoffs as Dougie Hamilton (lower body) returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing 18 games.
