The New Jersey Devils entered Saturday afternoon's game against the Montreal Canadiens, understanding it was a must-win. After 60 minutes, Sheldon Keefe gave a locker room victory speech as his team earned a 4-0 victory over the Canadiens.

The Devils have predictably given up more shot volume without those two stalwarts. They rank 26th in 5-on-5 shots allowed since Hischier went down five games ago. They also gave up 40 shots to the Vegas Golden Knights in the only game without both players.

Jake Allen will get the nod to start the New Jersey Devils final game before the 4-Nations break against the Montreal Canadiens. It will be the 34-year-old's 19th start this season. He is coming off a 3-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights,
