Devils Daily: Coming Home Pockets Full
If you had been told the New Jersey Devils were going to win three of their four games on the road, you’d certainly take it. Fortunately, that’s exactly what New Jersey did, coming home with six of a possible eight points. The Devils haven’t quite made up all the ground they lost early in the season just yet, however, they’re a lot closer than they were sitting just two points out of the wild card.
Unfortunately, one Devils forward can’t stay healthy, more in the links.
Elsewhere, the Penguins invite a former fourth-overall pick to Pittsburgh on a professional try-out. Could Philly trade an entire defensive pair? And what’s the latest with Detroit’s captain?
Let’s do that hockey.
