New Jersey Devils 2022-23 Regular Season Player Predictions

Jesper Boqvist

G: 12 A: 15 PTS: 27

The man looked like a bust but in my own opinion earned his roster spot at the end of last year. He looked like a legit 3/4 center and he showed a lot more speed and tenacity. At 23 years old though, this is probably his last shot to stick with the team. We’re predicting he finally does it being the first man in for injuries and taking the spot of a trade deadline player eventually, who was only slotted in for trade value purposes.

Fabian Zetterlund
G: 6 A: 9 PTS: 15

Much like Boqvist, Fabian Zetterlund had a strong end to his season with the Devils. He showed a lot of heart on the ice and was fun to watch while not at all looking like a young AHL guy who was in over his head. With 8 points in 14 games, he even produced in a big way and if he had kept it up would have been a 48-point season in 82 games, though this would have been unlikely. These three  ould even form a brand new third line at the end of the season if all the pending UUFAsare moved and might even be the top line for Utica till then.
