Devils Daily: Simon Nemec Makes History; Philly to Lose Top Goaltender to KHL?

Fans of the New Jersey Devils certainly aren’t thrilled with the outcome of last night’s New York Rangers victory.

Tonight, they could find out their Eastern Conference Final opponent, unless the Boston Bruins force a Game 7.

In the links, Simon Nemec makes IIHF hockey history. Also, Isaac Poulter’s development appears parallel to a former Devil and Stanley Cup champion. He could be an NHL option in the future.

Elsewhere, three free agents Pittsburgh should avoid, New York nabs Maxim Tsyplakov, and Philly could lose a top goaltender to the KHL.

Let’s do that hockey.
