The New Jersey Devils will hit the ice this morning ahead of their Wednesday night tilt with the Montreal Canadiens.

Checking in with some news, Elvis Merzlikins has asked for a trade out of Columbus. Does a trade with their division rival make sense for the Devils who have a goaltending need?

Elsewhere, should Philly be trading for a faltering Los Angeles forward? Will Pittsburgh be forced to make a depth acquisition? And, was Jeremy Swayman’s shot at the Boston organization really what it was cracked up to be?

Let’s do that hockey.
