Gritsyuk’s four-game goal streak leads Devils into Kings matchup
New Jersey seeks a three-game homestand sweep Saturday, while Los Angeles arrives with two consecutive wins.
Arseny Gritsyuk will try to extend his four-game goal streak when the New Jersey Devils host the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, Oct. 24. The Devils list puck drop at Prudential Center for 3:38 p.m. ET.
New Jersey has won four of its past five games and can complete a sweep of its three-game homestand. The first two victories came against Colorado, 4-3, and Anaheim, 4-1.
Gritsyuk has five goals in his past six games. His line with Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt has produced seven goals and 16 points over the Devils’ past five contests, according to the club’s preview.
Los Angeles has won twice in a row after opening the season without a victory in six games. The Kings beat Washington on Oct. 20 and then defeated the New York Islanders 3-2 in overtime, with Artemi Panarin scoring twice.
Saturday’s game is the middle stop of a five-game Kings road trip. Los Angeles finishes the trip against the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks.
