Akira Schmid posted a shutout, and the rest of the squad propelled the Devils to a 3-0 win over the Islanders on Friday night. The Devils finished the preseason part of the schedule with a 7-0-0 record. [Devils NHL]
Break it down by game, that’s 4.3 to 1.9 goal per game. The Devils also go 8-21 on the power play (38.1%) and allow just two power play goals over the 7 games.

Some love for Luke Hughes as a Calder Trophy candidate: “Hughes will have a monster rookie season with the Devils; he should be a top-four defenseman, should play more than 20 minutes per game and New Jersey should be a playoff team. If it all happens and Hughes produces, he’ll get a flood of votes for the Calder Trophy.” [NHL.com]

The regular season draws nigh:
Opening night rosters must be set by 5 p.m. ET on Monday (23 or fewer players and cap compliant).
— Tom Gulitti (@TomGulittiNHL) October 8, 2023
Reminder that the rosters Monday and moves made before 5 p.m. could be temporary. Players sent down Monday could (and likely will) be recalled before their team plays a game.
Wild sign Ryan Hartman to an extension:
Three years, $12 million ($4M AAV) for Ryan Hartman. Fair price for the 34-goal scorer of two years ago who took a paycut on his last deal
