Ondrej Palat Moves To Top Six In Devils Line Shakeup
1 year agoNew Jersey Devils left wing Ondrej Palat will join the top-six group for Friday's contest against the Islanders. Devils head coach Lindy Ruff was fuming with his team's performance in Monday's clash with Florida and has decided to shake things up a bit. Dawson Mercer is getting dropped from the top six, while Timo Meier, who was benched in the third period on Monday's contest, gets a chance to redeem himself on his natural right-wing position on the first line. Palat started the campaign with an assist in the team's season opener but has yet to add to his tally. He now finds himself in a much better position to make an impact offensively, as Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt have been among New Jersey's top scorers for multiple years.
