Holtz did not play in the Devils' previous game as he was a healthy scratch, but he will draw back the Devils' lineup Friday vs. Boston. The 20 year-old-rookie has two goals, 14 SOG and eight PIMs across 13 games played with New Jersey so far.
Megna has eight assists, 12 PIMs, 32 SOG and is a +4 plus/minus in 31 games and will draw back into the Sharks' lineup Thursday vs. Calgary after being a healthy scratch in their previous game.
Hart allowed three goals on 33 shots (.909 SV%) and picked up his second win in three starts with a victory over Columbus in his last game. The 24-year-old has been one of the Flyers' lone bright spots this season, with his 10-9-6 record, 2.82 GAA and .912 SV%. He will face the Toronto Maple Leafs, who won their last game 4-1 over Tampa Bay and are 2nd in the NHL in goals against per game (2.39) even though they have been missing key defensive pieces all season due to injury.
Megna has eight assists, 12 PIMs, 32 SOG and is a +4 plus/minus but will be a healthy scratch Tuesday as Mario Ferraro returns to the lineup after a 10-game absence (undisclosed).
Hart allowed four goals on 33 shots (.879 SV%) in a loss to the New York Rangers in his previous start between the pipes. The 24-year-old has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise horrific Flyers season, with his 9-9-6 record, 2.82 GAA and .913 SV%. He draws the Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday, who are looking to snap a four-game losing skid.
Hertl will be suspended for two games after his high-sticking infraction Sunday vs. Calgary. It is a massive loss for the Sharks who will be without their leading forward scorer, who has 11 goals, 21 assists, 12 PIMs and 82 SOG through 33 games played this season prior to his suspension.
Davies had only played in the Sabres' previous game vs. Arizona, with 8:33 TOI and two PIMs but will head to the press box as a healthy scratch with Ilya Lyubushkin returning from a lower-body injury.
Hill allowed five goals on 34 shots (.853 SV%) but still picked up his third straight win with a victory over Winnipeg in his previous start. The Golden Knights' backup has been solid this season, with a 8-2-1 record, 2.62 GAA and .907 SV%. He will face the Buffalo Sabres, who are on a three game winning streak after beating the Arizona Coyotes 5-2 in his last start.
Schmid will head back down to Utica (AHL) after doing a more than admirable job backing up the Devils' crease, posting an incredible 5-3-0 record, 1.96 GAA and .932 SV%. He heads back to the minors, where he was also strong prior to his promotion, with a 2-1-2 record, .918 SV% and 1.97 GAA in a short four game showing.
Hart allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) for his second straight overtime loss in a defeat to the Arizona Coyotes in his previous start. The 24-year-old's stats have taken a hit as of late as the Flyers continue their downfall, posting an 8-8-6 record with his .909 SV% and a 2.84 GAA. He will try to get back in the Win column as he takes on the high-powered New Jersey Devils, who despite losing three straight, are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.59)>
Holtz was a healthy scratch for the Devils' previous game but will draw back into the lineup after collecting two goals, 10 SOG and eight PIMs while averaging only 10:04 ATOI in his rookie season. He will return to the lineup Thursday vs. the Flyers.
