An injury will prevent the second showdown this season between the Nos. 1 and 2 picks in the 2019 NHL Draft. Hughes will not be in the lineup when the New Jersey Devils make the short trip to visit the New York Rangers on Thursday night.
But there is a chance that both Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko would have been overshadowed by another rookie. Russian rookie Igor Shesterkin, who turned aside 29 shots in his NHL debut to help his team snap a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over Colorado on Tuesday night.
There is a lot of young talent on display in this one and I am excited to watch as a fan. The teams have split the first two meetings so far this season, and both teams come into this one playing good hockey.

New Jersey Devils
The Devils, who split two meetings at home with the Rangers this season, followed a three-game winning streak by losing two in a row after dropping a 4-3 decision in overtime to the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
Offensively they have been getting what they need to out of their young star player in Nico Hischier. Devils C Nico Hischier has four goals and eight points in his last six game. Lets see if he can continue to perform tonight against a strong Rangers team.
Mackenzie Blackwood had been dealing with an illness heading into Tuesday’s contest and saw his night get worse when his mouth was bloodied after taking a puck to the mask, leading to a lengthy dental appointment on Wednesday.
Devils interim coach Alain Nasreddine said he is unsure if he will go with Blackwood or backup Louis Domingue. Assuming Blackwood is able to start, his stats on the season thus far are: 14-11-6 W-L | 2.86 GAA | 0.907 SV% | 1 SO
New York Rangers
Leading scorer Artemi Panarin continues to pile up points, collecting at least three in four of his last six games. In addition, Rangers C Mika Zibanejad has six goals in his last eight games and one tally and one assist in two meetings versus the Devils this season.
Shesterkin, stamped as the franchise’s goaltender of the future since he was drafted in 2014, allowed two goals on three shots before surrendering just one the rest of the way to high-powered Colorado.
Shesterkin, is now part of triumvirate in net along with longtime standout Henrik Lundqvist and Alexandar Georgiev. It will be hard to see who starts today as they all are capable NHL goaltenders.

Free New Jersey Devils vs. New York Rangers NHL Prediction:
This should be a high scoring affair, at least in my opinion. I think the goaltenders are a big question mark, bigger than choosing a team to win. The favorite is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings, the Devils are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings in New York.
If I was picking a moneyline it would be the Rangers, but I like the under a lot here.
