Devils Daily: Two Devils on Leave; New Jersey GM Talks Goaltending

The New Jersey Devils’ President of Hockey Operations and General Manager is not thrilled with his goaltending. Will it be addressed?

The Devils will be without two players who each took an indefinite leave of absence yesterday.

Elsewhere, Philly has a player on leave as well. Their general manager has seemingly been left in the dark.

Plus, a Vancouver forward has been on the trade rumor mill for the majority of the regular season. Could Nashville swoop in via trade to address their scoring issues?

Let’s do that hockey.
