How to Watch Devils Game vs. Boston Bruins (04/08/2025); Projected Lines, Notes, & More

The last time the New Jersey Devils (41-29-7) met the Boston Bruins (31-38-9), they suffered a significant loss. Not on the scoresheet, however. Justin Brazeau (now a member of the Minnesota Wild) crashed into Jacob Markstrom in his crease, causing a lower-body injury that saw the Swedish netminder miss six weeks of the regular season, and the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Still, they collected the win. And although Brazeau is no longer with the Bruins, you wonder if the Devils haven’t forgotten what happened.

Anyway, the Bruins are free-falling. They no longer have their captain, Brad Marchand, who resides in Florida. Charlie Coyle is a member of the Colorado Avalanche. The Bruins team coming in on Tuesday is far more inferior to the one they pummeled in January.

What to Know vs. Bruins
