Seems bad!

The Hockey Guy assesses the Devils:

“The Florida Panthers could be getting a big boost to their lineup later this season as they continue their chase for a Stanley Cup three-peat. Captain Aleksander Barkov has resumed skating recently after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in training camp, and was seen taking to the ice prior to Florida’s loss to the New York Rangers in the Winter Classic on Jan. 2 from Miami’s LoanDepot Park.” [TSN]
“You can see why trading for Hughes has been a game-changer for the Wild, who are 7-2-3 with a league-high 47 goals in 12 games since his Dec. 14 debut. He is as dynamic as it gets, and his early impact — from stretch passes to puck retrievals to the power play — is showing exactly why management was willing to make a trade of this magnitude.” [The Athletic ($)]
A funny moment:
“The visual of Hofer peeking around the hallway to the bench when dressed led to further speculation, on the broadcast and elsewhere, that he was hiding to avoid replacing Binnington. But, again, Montgomery said that wasn’t the case. It was just a matter of not being dressed on time.” [The Athletic ($)]
