What a weird game. When’s the last time every defenseman had a point in a Devils game, and 2G from the D as well.

Definitely an anomaly, but nice to see the backend driving play for a bit. I still think Carrick should get some more looks.

With Fredrik Claesson in the lineup anything is possible.

Kidding aside, amazed these Defenders were able to hang in with St. Louis.

The Vats trade is a boon. A healthy serviceable defender, a quality forward with some size and scoring touch and possibly a pick for a rental who might not play one game for Carolina. Almost makes up for that Ruutu trade. Almost.

Tied with the sabres in points and they haven't won a game in months even with eichel and dahlin

They have to be the worst run franchise in the league right?

Yes, consistent mismanagement at all levels.

Also that Skinner contract looking like an albatross. That's what happens when you overpay a guy for his best shooting season.

Skinner has always been pretty good. It's an overpayment, but he's significantly better than he's playing this year.

When they traded for him it was great because they bought in low. Skinner is a good 25-30 goal/60 point guy, but the contract for that kind of player is too high. This year they have spent up to the cap and they are not good. At least they have a ton of players coming off the books, but even then they don't have good players coming through the system to replace.

Maybe placing blame on Skinner is unfair since what him and Eichel have to play around is really weak, but it's not like he's lighting it up and still losing.

Looks like somebody is a game time decision so Kook might get in.

Yes. I have no interest in losing this game whatsoever. Dont give a poop if it makes us pass the Sabres in the standings

Yeah, the difference is like 1% odds for winning the lottery, it's meaningless. Winning this game is worth much more than that.
