The teams may be tied on points but Ottawa have three games in hand and only a -10 goal differential compared to Detroit’s astonishing -33. The Red Wings have played four games in November and have lost every one by a margin ofRead More →

Let’s take a look at some teams that we had higher expectations of by this stage of the season: New Jersey Devils – Ed The excitement of the 2019 off-season was short-lived, as New Jersey got off to a slow start to the 2019-20 season, going 0-4-2 in their first six games before back-to-back wins over the Rangers (3-2) and Canucks (1-0 shutout).

Henrik Sedin and Orland Kurtenbach were present during a special pre-game ceremony to hand the reigns over. Few Canucks fans could argue that this was a smart choice.
