The New Jersey Devils are holding their prospect challenge starting Friday, and there are a lot of interesting names taking part in the tournament. The round-robin against the Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins will show Devils fans how their prospects compare to those of their Eastern Conference rivals.

Alexander Holtz might get the most attention in this tournament. He’s on the Devils roster this season, but he needed to prove himself a little more to make it to the NHL. If he doesn’t show something really good, especially in the scoring aspect, he’s going to start the season in Utica.
