Devils Daily: Cover Boys; Impact Penguins Trade

You smell that? That’s the smell of hockey around the corner. Of course, we’re alluding to the fact that EA Sports has dropped their newest game cover that happens to feature New Jersey Devils brothers Jack and Luke Hughes, as well as their eldest brother Quinn.

And to make it feel even more like hockey season is approaching, a pretty interesting trade went down yesterday. Although it didn’t involve the Devils, it’s certainly a boost for a division rival.

Elsewhere, everyone’s talking about Anthony Duclair’s hair. Yet another wrinkle in the Valeri Nichuskin saga. And the history that soured Yaroslav Askarov on Nashville.

Let’s do that hockey.
