New Jersey Devils News & Notes:

Things have been a little rocky in New Jersey lately. The Devils are 4-6 in the last ten games, which led to a media-driven feud between head coach Sheldon Keefe and defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic. With ten games remaining, New Jersey has a seven-point lead on the New York Islanders for third place in the Metropolitan Division.

Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes:

Chicago and San Jose are battling for the final spot in the NHL standings. The winner has the best odds of being selected with the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

New addition Joe Veleno is starting to settle into his role with the Blackhawks. After six scoreless games, he scored a goal and an assist in the latest game vs. Philadelphia.
