Devils Daily: Simmering Rivalry; More NHL Officials Criticisms
The New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders are certainly division rivals. But when reflecting on whom the Devils’ true rivals are, the Isles don’t typically come to mind. That could be changing, however. After admitting the Devils’ star player was targeted, things got chippy, which could have set the tone for the remaining meetings this season.

Let’s do that hockey.
