Sheldon Keefe explained there’s still no update. He had yet to get imaging, but we should know more today, when the Devils media speaks with the coach at 10:15 A.M.
In the links, the Devils really got to Jakub Dobes. The 24-year-old netminder was beside himself. If you missed it, it’s down below in the links.
Elsewhere, a beloved ex-Blueshirt is thriving with his new team, Macklin Celebrini discloses his childhood idol, and why Matvei Michkov is primed for a breakout.
