Devils Daily: Looking To Free Agency?

The New Jersey Devils are winners in five of their last six games. It’s quite the turnaround following their November woes. However, they still have some holes to fill as they haven’t been perfect. And, although the wins ease the pressure on general manager Tom Fitzgerald to make a move, there’s certainly no lack of news regarding who he may or may not be checking in on. The most recent report cites the Devils GM looking toward free agency. More on that later.

Elsewhere, Pittsburgh’s GM is drawing criticism, San Jose might be a wagon, and a former Devils is struggling big time.

Let’s do that hockey.
