Devils Daily: Holy Toffoli! Cassidy Rips Golden Knights in Loss to Devils

On one hand, the New Jersey Devils dug deep and secured a victory over the defending Stanley Cup Champions. On the other hand, the Vegas Golden Knights squandered a point in a game in which they led multiple times.

Devils forward Tyler Toffoli netted a hat-trick. However, if you ask Vegas’ head coach, the Golden Knights did not defend very well. In fact, he rips his team’s effort following Vegas’ overtime loss.

Elsewhere, could Elias Lindholm end up traded to an in-division rival? What are the pros and cons of Montreal dealing Sean Monahan? And former Boston captain Patrice Bergeron is shooting down more rumors.

Let’s do that hockey.
