Remember that Taylor Hall guy? After being out since December, he has had knee surgery:
Earlier this week, Devils’ Taylor Hall underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Still too early to know if or when he will be back this season.

Even with a severely depleted NHL roster, the Devils managed to hang with the Flames on Wednesday but ultimately fell in a 2-1 loss. [All About The Jersey] [NorthJersey.com] [NJ.com]
In that game, Mirco Mueller went awkwardly into the end boards and had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher to the hospital:

Hmmm, an interesting tweet from Columbus:
Kinkaid said #CBJ goaltending coach Manny Legace sat him down for a video session to point out some "bad habits" etc

“When I saw it on video, I was a little shocked," Kinkaid said. "We’ve already adjusted and fixed it, so it’s just hammering at it now.”

John Tavares made his return to Nassau Coliseum Thursday night. Hoo boy. The Islanders absolutely owned the Leafs in a 6-1 win, and Islanders fans absolutely let their former captain have it. I have to imagine that game was a bit satisfying for the home team.
Chants of "we don't need you" at Nassau. It's not even warmups yet. #Tavares @NYIslanders
