With the Men’s qualification playoffs set to kick off on Tuesday, let’s take a look at how each Devils player has performed so far.​

Team Switzerland boasts three Devils on its roster.​

Timo Meier has been great for Team Switzerland, earning six points in the tournament and scoring two goals in the opening game.

​Devils captain Nico Hischier has earned one assist and is tied for the team's shots on goal with five.

​The final player for Team Switzerland is Jonas Siegenthaler, who has taken four shots on goal. ​

For Team USA, Jack Hughes has three points, two assists, and one goal. The forward is playing alongside a stacked roster, but has played well. ​Mike Rupp complimented Hughes on his play with Team USA.

​“I would argue Jack Hughes has been (Team USA’s) best player,” Rupp said.  

​Next, we turn to Team Sweden, where Jesper Bratt and Jacob Markstrom are representing the Devils.​

Jesper Bratt has earned one assist in three games, although he was benched in the third game against Slovakia. ​

His teammate, Jacob Markstrom, earned one start for Team Sweden. Markstrom won the game, but allowed a late goal that hurt Sweden’s positioning in their group standings.

​The final player is Simon Nemec, who has had a strong offensive performance in the Olympics. Nemec has two assists so far and has the most scoring chances for a defenseman. ​

The games for Tuesday are set: Germany and France face off at 6:10 am ET, Switzerland and Italy at 6:10 am ET, Czechia and Denmark at 10:40 am, and Sweden and Latvia at 3:10 PM.
