The Devils put an end to their 11-game winless streak at home by eeking out a 3-2 win in a basement battle with the Sabres on Tuesday night. Don’t plan the parade just yet. [NHL] [All About the Jersey] [NorthJersey.com] [NJ.com]
Remarkably, the Devils get a rare win while wearing third jerseys:
Not only did the #NJDevils end their 11-game winless streak at home, but the Devils end a six-game winless streak in the Heritage/Reverse Retro Jerseys.

*whispering in the quietest voice imaginable* Did they figure it out?
The #NJDevils are 29 of 32 on the penalty kill over the past 11 games. That is 90.6 percent and the best % in the NHL over that span.

A bit of a non-update here on Kyle Palmieri from Elliotte Friedman: “Sounds like New Jersey and Kyle Palmieri have begun conversations about his future. Nothing imminent, and I’m not making any predictions, but it’s underway.” [Sportsnet]

It appears that the Leafs are open for business, and Kyle Dubas is looking to make a deal. Might Toronto be a trade partner? [TSN]
The 4 takeaways from Dubas’ avail:
1) Hopes to make a trade ASAP because of the 14-day quarantine;
2) He would trade a top prospect;
3) He would prefer a rental player, for once, over a hockey deal;
4) Confirms that the forward position is leading their deadline discussions.— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) March 16, 2021
