First playoff goal secures win
Nemec scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 3.
ANALYSIS
Nemec might not even be in the lineup if the Devils were at full health, but they're missing Luke Hughes (upper body) and Brenden Dillon (lower body) and lost Johnny Kovacevic (undisclosed) early in this game. Even with the pressure of his first playoff run, Nemec stepped up to get the Devils back in this series, scoring 2:36 into the second overtime period to secure the win. He's added two PIM, two hits and two blocked shots over two playoff outings.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
As a rookie, Nemec put together a decent campaign last year in which he recorded three goals on 73 shots, 16 assists and two power-play points in 60 contests. While the 20-year-old blueliner averaged 1:17 of ice time with the man advantage in 2023-24, he could struggle to maintain that role heading into the upcoming campaign with a healthy Dougie Hamilton in the mix alongside Luke Hughes. Still, even without a major power-play role, Nemec should be capable of getting over the 20-point threshold, and he could even challenge for 30. If he can get some power-play minutes, that number could go even higher in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Representing Slovakia
Nemec and his home country of Slovakia will attempt to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Nemec should be able to gain some valuable experience in international play as the young blueliner gears up for his second professional season. The 20-year-old is listed on Slovakia's second-defense pair, so he'll play an important role for his country's team. The right-shot defenseman registered 19 points with a minus-7 rating in 60 regular-season appearances with the Devils in 2023-24.
