The New Jersey Devils were off the ice for a travel day yesterday. They’re back at it this morning ahead of their tilt later tonight with the Winnipeg Jets. They go from one of the NHLs worst clubs to one of the NHLs best. It’s a polarizing set of tests for New Jersey, and it would be a big statement to come out with a victory tonight.
In the links, lot’s about John Tortorella.
Also, the Blueshirts are already looking to the summer, Sidney Crosby eclipses Wayne Gretzky before Ovi, and the Isles have a phenom in their system.
Let’s do that hockey.
