Meier left Game 7 vs. the New York Rangers after just 11:35 TOI after taking a massive hit from Jacob Trouba and will now be a game-time decision for Game 1 of Round Two vs. Carolina. The 26-year-old has been a bit of a letdown in his first playoffs with the Devils, having yet to pick up a point, with 27 SOG, 20 PIMs and a -3 plus/minus through the first season game.
Meier participated in line rushes at practice this morning in a regular jersey. The 26-year-old had 31 goals, 52 points and 255 SOG through 57 games with the Sharks prior to being traded. Meier's next chance to make his Devils debut will come Sunday in Arizona.

Meier enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2022, scoring 35 goals with 41 assists (76 points) in 77 games. He carried that over into 2023, picking up 31 goals and 21 assists (52 points) in 57 games while ranking third in the NHL in shots on goal (255).

Meier should also bolster their top power-play unit, which is currently 19th in the NHL (20.5%).
