Not great news on Mackenzie Blackwood here from Elliotte Friedman: “New Jersey and Mackenzie Blackwood are going through second and potentially third opinions over treatment for his injured heel. Timeline uncertain.” [Sportsnet]
On Monday night, the Devils gave up four (four!) unanswered third-period goals, including a late shorthanded goal, to the Leafs and lost 6-4. Auston Matthews had a hat trick. [NHL]
And then on Tuesday, the Leafs really put it to the Devils in a 7-1 win. Mitch Marner had two goals and two assists. Jack Hughes tallied for the Devils. This team has now lost six in a row and 9 of the last 10. [NHL]

I’m sure the players are also pissed about it.’” [The Athletic ($)]
