PRE-GAME REPORT

NEWARK, NJ - The Devils look to make it four straight wins as they host the Colorado Avalanche Saturday night. After beating top teams like the Bruins and the Islanders, confidence is growing around the club. Will Butcher has seen improvements with the team's chemistry and trust.
"We're closing time better in the defensive zone, giving them less time to make plays. We're reading off of each other having that second guy come in and help when there's a battle or stall in the walls," said Butcher following morning skate. "I think we've been doing a really good job in the last games, just implementing [the systems]. Trusting each other, having confidence in our system and having belief in one another."
Nico Hischier has felt a difference in the locker room with the team's morale.
"If you look in the locker room, guys feel good about ourselves, we just have to try to keep that going," said Hischier. "We're playing some good hockey, and confidence is a good part of that."
Hischier is gaining more responsibility with the team. He wore the A last game and will rotate with Palmieri throughout the season according to Interim Head Coach Alain Nasreddine.
BEN STREET CALL UP
With Bratt and Hughes out against the Avalanche, the Devils called up Ben Street from Binghamton. Interim Head Coach Alain Nasreddine is very familiar with the Binghamton Captain. Nasreddine coached Street when both were with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins organization.
"He's a really good two-way player, and for us it's about meritocracy. He was the best player down there for our farm team and he deserves the call up," said Nasreddine following morning skate. "He's had a really good season for Binghamton and just got named to the [AHL] All-Star team so that says a lot about his body of work so far this season."
Street signed with the franchise on July 1st, 2019, and the forward is looking forward to seeing his first minutes with the club.
"It's really cool that tonight's going to be the night, hopefully I can help and contribute and these guys keep winning games too," said Street following morning skate. "It's been a crazy week, we had a kid last Friday, between that, All-Star game, call up today, it's been a bit wild."
LINEUP NOTES:
The projected lineup for the Devils based on line rushes is as follows:
Zacha - Hischier - Palmieri
Coleman - Zajac - Gusev
Wood - Street - Simmonds
Boqvist - Rooney - Hayden
Greene - Subban
Severson - Vatanen
Butcher - Mueller
Blackwood
Domingue
