* DEVILS GOALIES BEDEVILED: No team over the last decade has suffered more goaltending issues than the Devils. GM Tom Fitzgerald finally solved the problem last summer by making a deal for the very competent Jacob Markstrom. And it worked, as proven by New Jersey's lofty perch in the standings thanks to Marky's fine crease work.

The Canadian media focused on two things Tuesday. Some bemoaned Connor McDavid’s suspension, and others chased the now red-hot NHL trade chatter surrounding J.T. Miller. Two Metro Division teams have joined the fray to acquire Miller from the Vancouver Canucks as Vancouver’s season goes splat.

The Avalanche passed the first of three straight tests against top Central Division teams and had a great Saturday all around. J.T. Miller almost didn’t play because of a potential trade but ended up dressing in a game that saw two players get ejected late.
