Head coach Sheldon Keefe was not pleased with his teams’ effort against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, a team on the outside looking in. The poorly defended tilt came off the back of some heavy momentum where the Devils played solid hockey with clean structure that curated a three-game win-streak.



This is a big week, however. They play the Columbus Blue Jackets again tonight, and then the Ottawa Senators over the weekend, with the Calgary Flames sandwiched in between. This past Saturday’s effort won’t fly, especially against the Jackets and Senators.

We’ll see what team shows up this week.

Let’s do that hockey.

Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Wouldn’t it be more fitting to see Brad Marchand in black and yellow again? Not the B’s black and yellow, however. What if the Pittsburgh Penguins tried to sign the pending free agent?

San Jose Hockey Now: Ex-Devils forward Tyler Toffoli has a knack for leadership as one of the veterans on the San Jose Sharks roster. So, what does that entail, exactly? (+)

Sportsnet: Maybe we should have seen this one coming. Mikko Rantanen’s departure from the Colorado Avalanche was messy. We learned he didn’t want it. It was strange that it happened in the first place. Returning to his old barn, Ball Arena, the Finnish star was cheered, but also booed.
