You just don’t love the update on Dougie Hamilton from New Jersey Devils head coach, Sheldon Keefe. If you missed it, it’s in the links below.
We’ll know more today, but usually these end with bad news.
But, another win, and in gutsy fashion. You’ll take that en route to earning their 10th win, and the first team in the NHL to accomplish that feat.
Also, some random Dawson Mercer shade from Keefe? More on that below.
Elsewhere, Artemi Panarin did his best Britney Spears impression and is bald, again! Florida is in the basement, and is Pittsburgh making the right choice?
Let’s do that hockey.

NHL Trade Talk, News, & National Hockey Now
Forever Blueshirts: Artemi Panarin did it again. Amid another slump, the New York Rangers forward has shaved his head. Bald Panarin is back.
Pittsburgh Hockey Now: There are two paths forward for the Pittsburgh Penguins roster. One is to stay the course and push for more younger players via development and trade, independent of the on-ice results, good or bad. The other is to build upon the start and do what is necessary to make the playoffs, seizing on the strong start. Which will they choose?
San Jose Hockey Now: The rookie class this season is flush with talent. Michael Misa is part of that, but it’s been a tough go for him of late. The San Jose Sharks rookie is headed to injured reserve.
Florida Hockey Now: Okay, maybe we should have seen this one coming. The Florida Panthers are officially in the basement of the Eastern Conference. More here from George Richards.
Vegas Hockey Now: Akira Schmid is holding things down for the Vegas Golden Knights, but they’re thin in net after him. Elliotte Friedman provides a timeline for the injured Adin Hill.
