This is certainly a strange season in terms of the standings. Show of hands if you had the Philadelphia Flyers second in the Metropolitan Division two days before American Thanksgiving. If your hand is up right now, you’re lying. How about the New Jersey Devils, granted they’re hampered with injuries, sputtering at this point in the season?

As a result, there are some murmurs around the league in terms of teams trying to make upgrades leading to some trade rumors. The Devils can certainly use some help on the blue line or in goal. They can potentially upgrade both, but defense would be easier with more options on the market.

Anyway, those are just some thoughts with one game left on the schedule before Turkey Day in the United States.

Side note, what’s with literally ZERO games on today’s schedule?

Elsewhere, Colorado and Philly could be making some moves, a Panthers defenseman has a career night, and plenty more.

Let’s do that hockey.

New Jersey Devils

Florida Panthers

Florida Hockey Now: In a tilt against the Edmonton Oilers, Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola has a career night propelling Florida to two points.

Philadelphia Flyers
