Devils at the top of The Athletic’s power rankings here: “This team is the real deal. They are fast, relentless on pucks, and don’t back down with a lead. They’re fun as hell and there’s still plenty of room on the wagon as they likely march toward the playoffs. They were at 97 percent before Thursday night’s win.” [The Athletic ($)]
Pierre LeBrun chats with Lindy Ruff about this season, what’s next and working with young players: “I have a good time with them, whether it’s texting, or if we’re talking about Instagram or Snapchat or something.

You just can’t help but be impressed by what Fabian Zetterlund has done so far this season:
Fabian Zetterlund low key leads all rookie skaters (100+ minutes) in points per 60. Has great on-ice impacts, too. #NJDevils pic.twitter.com/pwUCpJbuiM

There is another team that is having a good season, I guess:
