#NEWS: This morning, Ondrej Palat underwent successful groin surgery, following recommendations after meeting with doctors.
— New Jersey Devils (@NJDevils) November 1, 2022
He is expected to make a full recovery, & details regarding his return to play timeline will be provided as they become available.https://t.co/v8iguWrAPR
I asked #NJDevils Lindy Ruff about why no specific timeline in number of weeks/days etc for Palat’s return.

Palat will see doctors for his post-surgery visit in a few days for an evaluation before making any timeline specifics.
Dimitri Filipovic and Cam Charron do a full deep dive on New Jersey’s hot start on The Hockey PDOcast:
Sean McIndoe: “…We have to consider the possibility that the Devils are good. Not ‘better than the trainwreck we expected’ good, but legitimately good. Playoff good? Yes. Something more than that? Well … maybe?” [The Athletic ($)]
From a Canucks perspective, Thomas Drance assesses the Devils defensive corps as … a model to emulate? It’s a little bizarre to write that. [The Athletic ($)]
Speaking of defense…
Congratulations Luke Hughes! He is your @B1GHockey First Star of the Week!#GoBlue〽️ pic.twitter.com/2L1aPYaEMf

Sportico is reporting that the Senators are officially up for sale: “The Ottawa Senators have retained a bank to explore a sale, according to multiple people familiar with the plans. The family of late owner Eugene Melnyk has hired Galatioto Sports Partners, said the people, who were granted anonymity because the details are private. Melnyk died in March and left the team to his two children—Anna and Olivia—who are both younger than 25. The franchise is currently run by a three-person board.” [Sportico]
