NJHN Daily: Monday’s Big NHL Trade; Devils Seek Answers; Senators-Rangers Drama

What better way for the New Jersey Devils to completely rectify their poor effort on Sunday than by winning tonight for head coach Sheldon Keefe against his former club? I can’t think of a better one.

However, if they’re going to do that, they’ll need to answer some pretty important, tough questions. More on where the Devils’ mindset is regarding said question in the links.

Also below, the Devils’ injury report. Are they suddenly thin in goal?

Elsewhere, an NHL trade involving an ex-Devils goaltender, a new inductee to the Devils’ Ring of Honor, and why both Colorado and San Jose made the big swap.

Let’s do that hockey.
