#GoHabsGo rookie Jacob Fowler has won his 4th start in a row. He has had ups and downs during this stint but his overall numbers are .925 SV% and 0.725 GSAx/60, and he has allowed just 1 goal out of 8 shootout shots
That's why Mehta has offered a better package. Prime Hellebuyck is the missing piece of the puzzle for them
#NJDevils 5v5 stats right now:
2.130 xGA/60 (3rd)
-0.315 GSAx/60 (26th)
2.44 GA/60 (15th)
.898 SV% (20th)
#GoJetsGo get a solid return package. Mercer hasn't played consistently but he has scored 40+ points three times, and a change of scenery could help him increase the numbers. He is also under team control until 2028, at least
And there are additional assets in #12 overall pick Command, Daws, and picks, while pending UFA Bjugstad is expected to miss next 3-5 months
Which version of Connor Hellebuyck does New Jersey get?
#NJDevils
McDavid is in a league of his own

New for @Sportsnet
How realistic is 200 points for Connor McDavid?
A breakdown of why McDavid is off to an even more torrid start than normal and how sustainable all of those factors are. #LetsGoOilers
sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/fri…
Save the date. At his current pace, Connor McDavid would hit:
100 points in Game 33 (Dec. 8 at MIN)
154 points (new career high) in Game 50 (Jan. 15 vs CBJ)
216 points (NHL record) in Game 70 (Mar. 11 vs NSH)

Hagens ability to get in the lane and block shots is not something I knew he had in his bag...it's impressive for a 19 year old kid

Should the NHL and NHLPA Change Their Trade Protection Rules? dom.hockey/2026/10/22/should…
Funny enough, there are only five lines in the league that have allowed less than 1 xGA per 40 minutes in 5v5 without EN:
Steel - Johnston - Rantanen #TexasHockey 0.693
Martone - Cates - M. Michkov #LetsGoFlyers 0.788
Neighbours - Dvorsky - Buchnevich #StlBlues 0.793
Ehlers - Staal - Martinook #CarolinaCulture 0.947
Bratt - Hughes - Mantha #NJDevils 0.969
It's common to see Quinn Hughes, Bouchard, or Theodore among the best offensive pairings in 5v5 - there's no news in that
But you'd never guess in 10 attempts that Slavin and Chatfield would be the best in the league by xGF
