Tyce Thompson tallied an assist in his NHL debut on Tuesday night against the Sabres, but that’s about all that was memorable about this one.

Elliotte Friedman on Kyle Palmieri: “Palmieri was with New Jersey at its Tuesday-morning skate. He and the Devils simply are not close on an extension, so we are where we are. I’m imagining a poker game with (Kevyn) Adams, Tom Fitzgerald, Lou Lamoriello and several other GMs trying to bluff each other over the same players and similar trade scenarios.” [Sportsnet]
For what it’s worth: Over at The Fourth Period, David Pagnotta reports not so surprisingly, that there’s a bit of interest out there for Devils players, including Kyle Palmieri (duh), Dmitry Kulikov, Ryan Murray and Aaron Dell. [The Fourth Period]
