Devils Daily: Zadorov Welcomes Trade to New Jersey, Penguins to Retire Jagr’s Number

Friday night was a lot to digest for the Devils.

Lifeless was the only word that came to mind as the clock kept ticking and New Jersey couldn’t convert against a dismal Washington Capitals team on home ice. More on that later.

As a result, New Jersey will hit the ice today at noon in preparation for the Winnipeg Jets next week.

Elsewhere, according to a source, a Flames defenseman would welcome a trade to New Jersey, Holtz’s deployment remains a mystery, and the Penguins are finally set to retire the number of a Pittsburgh legend.

Let’s do that hockey.
