Timo Meier
Meier's five shots and 18:35 of ice time matched his usual workload (3.2 shots and 18:36 a night in his recent sample), so the two goals represent normal efficiency rather than an outlier performance. He fires from the right wing on the first power-play unit, averaging 2:01 on the man advantage per game. His underlying play grades 99 out of 100 among forwards, reflecting elite volume in shots, scoring chances and ice time.
The Devils have four games left this week (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday), giving Meier a strong schedule to work with. His recent averages show 0.31 goals and 0.30 assists per game, with 0.15 power-play points. He also contributes 1.7 hits and 0.7 blocks per game. The Sunday performance fits comfortably within those norms, making it a hold-worthy night rather than a call to action.
What to do
• Keep Meier rostered as a hold, given his elite underlying play and four games left this week.
• Do not read Sunday's two goals as a change in form, as his shots and minutes matched his usual output.
• Rely on his 3.2 shots per game and 99th percentile process grade for steady production over the Devils' busy week.
