The Capitals jumped out to a 3-0 lead over the Devils on Friday night, and the Devils got back to within a goal but couldn’t find the tying tally. Capitals won, 4-2. [Devils NHL]
Lindy Ruff on Alex Holtz and his limited ice time as of late: “If you want to play more, don’t get scored against.” [NJ.com] [NJ Hockey Now]
Nikita Zadorov wants out of Calgary. And then: “On Saturday, a source close to the situation told New Jersey Hockey Now that Zadorov would welcome a trade to the New Jersey Devils.” [NJ Hockey Now]
Tor, Van, and NJD are the clubs with strong interest in Zadorov. Tanev, solid right shot Dman is a huge draw and, of course, Hanifin. The Flames are in no hurry to sell assets. If a team steps up in a big way, everything has to be considered. I’m not sensing urgency from Cgy.
