When New Jersey Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe is unhappy, he can be quite… short. That’s exactly what he was Tuesday night when the Devils lost 8-5 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Keefe has been consistent in stating the effort on home ice hasn’t been good enough, and that sentiment remained against the Bolts.

Still, it was a bit surprising when Keefe was uninterested in talking about the big hit laid on Devils star Jesper Bratt. More on that in the links below.

Plus, if you missed last night’s game, catch up with the postgame. Also, if you saw the Lululemon gear announcement, you also saw there won’t be any Devils stuff… yet! It’s coming, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Elsewhere, Florida extends their head coach, a questionable fine in Toronto, and Team Canada is getting ahead of the 4 Nations Faceoff.

Let’s do that hockey.

The Athletic ($): According to 40 executives across the NHL, the Devils’ front office is among the NHLs best.

Per the NHLs Fanatics press release, the Lululemon gear that’s inbound will only feature 11 teams… at first. However, the NHL will be expanding to a full 32 team assortment for the 2025-26 season, which will obviously include the Devils.

Very cool campaign for the new @NHL x @Fanatics x @lululemon collab: Players and their significant others modeling the fan gear.
