Devils Daily: A Timely Return? Another Team in the Mix for Kane

The job is always fun. However, today is one of those days where it’s extra fun.

The New Jersey Devils host the New York Rangers tonight at the Prudential Center. There’s always a different buzz whether it be with the fans, the media, or the players on nights like this one.

What makes it even better is the anticipation leading up to tonight’s first meeting between Metropolitan Division rivals. The Devils star forward is a game-time decision and just might make a return after missing five games. On Broadway, it’s the same waiting game for their All-Star goaltender. We’ll have to wait until either the coaches speak or warmups to learn more about this one.

Elsewhere, how the Devils landed on their head coach, Philadelphia’s No.1 prospect is having his way in Russia, and another team in the mix for Patrick Kane.

Let’s do that hockey.
