Today begins the first of five straight early starts as the Canucks embark on an east coast swing. The New Jersey Devils are up first. The Devils sit three points below the Eastern Conference playoff bar, but have three games in hand on the eighth place Philadelphia Flyers.
Today’s opponent is appropriate given the news of the day. According to Darren Dreger the the New York Islanders are maybe seeking to interview Mike Gillis (or maybe just seeking to pick his brain for ideas on how to restore their franchise).
