“Coming out of the gate hot will be crucial for the Devils as a team, as banking points early on can make all the difference later in the season. But no player needs a hot start (maybe other than Dawson Mercer) than (Timo) Meier to begin 2024-25.” [Devils on the Rush ($)]
Nico Hischier here on Sheldon Keefe: “We’re all excited to have him. What he’s done with the Toronto organization, still pretty impressive. So he knows how to win games, how to get into the playoffs consistently, and that’s something we’ve got to aim for right now. He obviously coached a good team in Toronto, and we’re just hoping that he can teach us things, give us lessons and get us ready for a long season. [The Athletic ($)]
