Devils Daily: Lee Addresses Hischier Check; Tortorella Issues Public Apology

Tuesday night’s victory was quite the unexpected one for the New Jersey Devils.

Literally.

According to MoneyPuck, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 45 shots on goal translated into a 74.2% win probability for Sheldon Keefe and co.

Unfortunately for Toronto, Jake Allen was in net.

In the link, the Isles captain offers his first comment on his knee-on-knee with Nico Hischier.

Elsewhere, Jake Guentzel claims being traded wasn’t his choice, the clock is ticking for Pittsburgh to decide on their 2024 first-round pick, and John Tortorella issues a public apology.

Let’s do that hockey.
