How to Watch Devils Game vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (12/21/2024); Projected Lines, Notes, & More

The New Jersey Devils (21-11-3) host the suddenly competent Pittsburgh Penguins (15-14-5) as they begin a two-game homestand before the holiday break.

The Penguins didn’t start the season so well, however, have certainly been better lately. The Sidney Crosby-led Pens are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and have won two in a row coming into Newark.

The Devils hope to strengthen their home efforts against the veteran club.

Let’s look ahead to tonight’s tilt.
