Meier tallied 40 goals and 66 points on a hefty 327 shots on goal across 78 games between the Sharks and Devils last season but fell to 28 goals and 52 points on 207 shots on goal across 69 games this season, his first full season with the Devils.

Mercer added his 19th 9:14 into the third period followed by Meier's 21st with just over three minutes remaining. Both of Meier's tallies came on the power play.

Meier has now scored in four consecutive games and boasts a five-game point streak, but it's surely too little too late. He's had a disappointing campaign overall, and the team has also been awful for most of the year. In 50 games, Meier has contributed only 17 goals and 16 assists. Nine of his 33 points have come during Meier's current scoring streak.

Coming off of a 40-goal season last year, Meier has tallied just nine goals and 15 points across 28 games this season while averaging just 2.79 shots per game, a far cry from the 4.19 shots per game he averaged with 327 shots in 78 games last season between the Devils and Sharks. The Devils have also been without star center Jack Hughes due to a shoulder injury.
New Jersey Devils winger Timo Meier (lower body) could return Friday against the San Jose Sharks, according to head coach Lindy Ruff. Meier has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury, but after skating Wednesday on his own, he could be an option for Friday. With the Devils having three days between games after Friday, the team could be cautious with Meier and have him return next Tuesday. Either way, the 27-year-old should be back soon and will slot right back into the top six and first power-play unit. He is a must-start player in fantasy when he's active.
New Jersey Devils winger Timo Meier (lower body) will remain on the shelf for Saturday's contest against the Rangers.

The Swiss star finished with 11:29 of ice time and had only one shot on goal with one block.

Overall, the 26-year-old posted 40 goals for the first time in his career while notching 66 points across 78 games played.
