The Devils couldn’t hold off the Capitals on Saturday. Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt tallied goals, but Washington claimed a 4-3 victory. [NHL]
Folks, the Devils won a shootout. Miles Wood returned to the lineup, Jack Hughes scored twice and the Devils topped the Habs with some slick shots in the shootout. They won 3-2. [NHL]
Jack is just killing it right now:
On a per-game basis, Jack Hughes is currently working on a top-30 U21 season EVER in the NHL.

Ever!
His 1.16 points per game are equal to Jagr's 20 yo season. It's ahead of Messier's, Malkin's, Stamkos' and Yzerman's.
Translation: It's good.
Jack Hughes went full Jack Hughes on the Habs tonight. #NJDevils pic.twitter.com/q629JO0BTa

The Penguins, uh, poured it on against the Red Wings on Sunday. Final score: 11-2.
The Penguins are the first team to score 11 goals in a single game in the salary cap era. First team since Washington in 2003.

Pierre LeBrun writes here about the NHL GM meetings this week: “My understanding is that there’s a group of 10 or so GMs that have talked about it over the past month and are in favour of seeing the salary cap extend into the playoffs in one form or another. Or at least open to having a discussion about it.” [The Athletic ($)]
I believe this is in fact one of the ideas the some of the GMs have. That the on -ice, game day playoff lineup is cap-compliant. So you dress a max $81.5 M lineup even though you may be carrying $90 M in players.
