Devils Daily: Meier Smash; A New Wrinkle with Sean Couturier

ELMONT — Sunday night’s 4-0 victory over the New York Islanders was an encouraging bounce back following the New Jersey Devils’ Saturday night defeat by the Ottawa Senators.

Today, the Devils will be off after landing in Toronto last night. They’ll face the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night.

In the links, watch Timo Meier come to the defense of his captain following a questionable hit. Read up on the takeaways from the Devils’ 4-0 victory.

Elsewhere, Nathan Mackinnon makes history, Sam Reinhart hits 50, and a new wrinkle in the Sean Couturier saga.
