Devils Daily: A Welcomed Return, Reilly On the Move

The New Jersey Devils are off today and will get back to work on Monday.

Yesterday was a lot of fun though, wasn’t it? It was reminiscent of the entire 2022-23 season in which the Devils ONLY sustained incredible success. It hasn’t been nearly as smooth for New Jersey this season, but Saturday night was a good step in the right direction.

Elsewhere, Calgary almost unites the Tanev brothers, Tippett benched in Philly, and Mike Reilly is on the move, plus more.

Let’s do that hockey.
