RALEIGH, N.C. -- The New Jersey Devils will be without Luke Hughes and Brenden Dillon when they try to even the best-of-7 Eastern Conference First Round against the Carolina Hurricanes at Lenovo Center in Game 2 on Tuesday (6 p.m. ET; FDSNSO, MSGSN, ESPN, TVAS2, SN360).

Carolina tends to split matchup minutes between Jarvis and Aho on the top line and Jordan Staal on the third. Against a Jack Hughes-less Devils team, Staal (and potentially Stankoven and Jordan Martinook, depending on how the lines shake out) may start with that burden to free up Jarvis and Aho to cook a bit more offensively.
