5 New Jersey Devils Players Who Could Help Playoff Teams Now

Yegor Sharangovich to the Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild could use some scoring from the wings, and there was nobody who was doing it like Yegor Sharangovich at the end of the season. The rookie Belarusian forward had five goals in his last eight games of the season. He was always pushing the play, and he would get himself in a great position constantly.

The Wild will need all hands on deck to keep pace with the Vegas Golden Knights. They are the underdogs in this series, but that’s exactly where a former 5th-round pick could thrive in the playoffs. He was never supposed to make the Devils roster this season, but he ended up being one of their best players.

The Wild already have one rookie game-changer in Kirill Kaprozov, but now they could get another former KHL standout in the lineup. Minnesota would love the flexibility Sharangovich brings to the lineup. He could play with Kaprizov and Ryan Hartman, or he could help with scoring on the bottom six.

With Zach Parise out of the lineup as a healthy scratch, the Wild would love to replace the production they thought they were getting from the former Devils star. A current Devil could really help him do that. Sharangovich is a driver of play and someone who can put the puck in the back of the net. This series is going to be one where every goal is crucial, so getting Sharangovich might be the difference in Minnesota making it to the next round.
