The New Jersey Devils earned a well-deserved day off on Wednesday following their 4-1 regulation win over the Florida Panthers. Thanks to some interesting scheduling, we’ll have the luxury of seeing the rematch on Thursday night in a rare back-to-back situation.
I don’t know about you, but the first game made me hope we see the Devils and Panthers meet in a playoff series. That’s a tall order for the Devils to meet the reigning champs in the playoffs, but if last night showed us anything, it’ll be pure entertainment.
In the links below, Devils lineup changes and Nico Hischier expectations.
Elsewhere, Tyler Toffoli receives odd praise, an actual trade, and some NHL trade rumblings.
Let’s do that hockey.
