Devils have had a decent run down the stretch this season. “It might not matter for this season, but it’s something to build on heading into the summer and next season. That’s especially true if changes are coming to the team’s front office.” [Devils on the Rush ($)]
“To say that either Jack Hughes or Jesper Bratt is inconsequential on the forecheck is completely untrue — they both are effective on the forecheck in their own ways, which are simply atypical to what one’s mind goes to when they think “forechecking.” Both of them engage at higher-than-expected levels considering their reputations, but both of them work quite well both in isolation and together to generate a fair amount of offensive-zone turnovers for their team. It’s what makes them such a dual threat at both rush offense and in-zone offense, and it’s about time they get recognized for their efforts and successes in this regard.” [Devils’ Advocates]
