The afternoon of Tuesday, March 19, 2024 will bring with it a more than striking match to be played at 17:00 hours Central Time between New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins, teams that belong to the Metropolitan Division and live a very adverse situation as both are out of any fight for playoff positions, and this game being one of the last chances to get closer to qualification positions.
