In a possible playoff preview on Thursday night, Erik Haula and Timo Meier scored goals, and Vitek Vanecek slammed the door as the Devils claimed a tight, 2-1 win over the Rangers. It was glorious. [Devils NHL]
Well, well, well.

Devils one point out of first in Metro. Hurricanes have a game in hand.
Douglas Jonathan Hamilton Jr.:
Dougie Hamilton (19-50—69) factored on the @NJDevils’ opening goal for this 50th assist of 2022-23 and now sits one point shy of joining Scott Stevens (78 in 1993-94) as the second defenseman in franchise history with a 70-point season.#NHLStats: https://t.co/86n5y7k7Ve pic.twitter.com/HGF3aQpmPY

Hats off to an impressive season for Vitek:
Vitek Vanecek becomes the only goaltender in #NJDevils history other than Martin Brodeur to record a 30-win season.

Marty Walsh is in as the new head of the NHLPA. Some first impressions: [Sportsnet]
Travis Yost: “Goalies have had a rough go of it in the past few weeks – scoring rates are once again at blistering levels, and league-wide save percentages are plummeting. In the heightened scoring era we’re living in, goaltenders were barely holding onto a 90.0 per cent stop rate league wide.” [TSN]
“So for now, the reverse hit lives on unless it’s blatantly visible as a form of interference. If I had my way, however: it would be outlawed for its predatory nature.” [Daily Faceoff]
“How does a 5-foot-10 forward who doesn’t blow by defenders with McDavid- or Nathan MacKinnon-type speed become such a nightmare for players to defend against? And what does it say about how his skill set, aside from his excellent shot, might translate to the NHL? I pored into Bedard game tape to find answers.” [The Athletic ($)]
