The Hurricanes host the Devils on Sunday afternoon in Game 1 of their first round series. Watch the game for free on Fubo today.

The New Jersey Devils will kick off their playoff run on Easter Sunday with a game against the Carolina Hurricanes at the Lenovo Center. The Devils finished off regular season play in third place in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 42-33-7 for a total of 91 points. With the team plagued by injuries this season, it wasn’t a bad finish, but doesn’t bode well for the playoff picture. In early March, center Jack Hughes suffered a season-ending shoulder injury against the Vegas Golden Knights that resulted in surgery. The team will now look to winger Jasper Bratt, Nico Hischier and Timo Meieir to carry the team through playoffs. Bratt finished the regular season with 88 points while Hischier and Meieir scored 69 and 53 points, respectively.

The Hurricanes have become a mainstay in the playoffs over the last several years and are in search of a Stanley Cup title this year. The ‘Canes finished the season with a record of 47-30-5 for a total of 99 points and spot in second place in the Metropolitan Division. Carolina is a much more well-rounded team without any star-studded talent at the forefront. With only two players over 50 points on the season, the Hurricanes put an emphasis on the team dynamic to spread the scoring around. Sebastian Aho earned 74 points to lead the team and Seth Jarvis finished behind him with 67, but the next closest point scorers are in the 40’s. Despite that, Carolina continues to rely on its strong penalty killing and its team chemistry to emerge victorious in this first series.

Tune in on Sunday afternoon to see if the underdog Devils can pull off the win on the road and get a head start in the series.
