Fifteen: New Jersey (4th Metropolitan)

New Jersey is not empty of talent with forwards Adam Henrique C and Mike Cammalleri LW and defensemen Adam Larsson D and Damon Severson D. Still it's the depth guys that will make or break this season and have kept them in it so far. Lee Stempniak RW and Kyle Palmieri RW are putting in the effort every night. They have to keep doing it though or the bottom might fall out and crush the playoff hopes.

Record: 16 - 13 - 5 37pts ( projected: 19 - 15 - 7 45pts)

Significant Injuries:
No current injuries of concern.

Next Fifteen Days 12/22/2015 - 1/5/2015:
Tuesday at Detroit
Saturday at Carolina
Tuesday Carolina visits
Wednesday at Ottawa
Saturday Dallas visits
Monday Detroit visits

They have to get points out of Detroit in order to make this fifteen days successful. That means the games against the Canes and Sens are wins - anything else and the Devils are putting themselves on the outside looking in come playoff time.
