J. — Now that the Carter Hart debut is behind them, the Vegas Golden Knights can get on with the task of building off Tuesday’s shootout win over the Blackhawks as they start a five-game road swing through the NHL’s Metropolitan Division. It starts Friday at Prudential Center against the Devils, who have been scuffling a bit since Jack Hughes accidentally cut his finger during a team dinner on Nov. 13 and will be out eight weeks.

New Jersey is 4-6 in its last 10 contests and have dropped three straight. On Sunday, the Knights face the Rangers, who are without star defenseman Adam Fox who injured his shoulder Nov.

They’re also without defenseman Alex Romanov who is done for the season following shoulder surgery and probably without Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who has an upper-body injury.
