NJHN Daily: Ex-Goaltender Blanks Devils; Travis Green Senators Assessment

If you’re just waking up and wondering if last night’s New Jersey Devils loss to the San Jose Sharks was a dream, it wasn’t. Yes, Mackenzie Blackwood really did register a 44-save shutout en route to a 1-0 victory. However, the Devils’ head coach wasn’t all that impressed. In fact, he put the onus on his team for not scoring.

Elsewhere, what will the 32 NHL general managers discuss at the winter meetings? The Columbus Blue Jackets make a low-risk, high-reward claim, and how has ex-Devils coach Travis Green handled his head coaching duties with Ottawa?

Let’s do that hockey.
