The Devils have a busy schedule coming up. They only play twice this week, but starting Sunday, they’ll host a busy four-game home stand.

In the links, are the Devils letting old habits creep in? Plus an injury update.

Elsewhere, not one but two NHL trades transpired yesterday. Catch up on all the details. A pair of fines were assessed by player safety, and is there another head coach to be fired soon?

Let’s do that hockey.
