NHL Power Rankings Shock: Early Surprises That Turned the Season Upside Down
9. New Jersey Devils, 3-1-0
Sean: 8
Dom: 9
WRONG: The Devils need a lot more from Dawson Mercer.
Mercer has shown plenty of flashes in the past, but with Jack Hughes out of the lineup last season, he flat-lined. New Jersey needs him to be either a solid third-line center or a contributor on the bottom six, and for now, he’s successfully walked through Door No. 2, putting up four points in four games. That’ll work, especially if Hughes avoids another season-ending injury. Which, for the Devils, might be easier said than done.
