Before the New Jersey Devils took the ice against the Washington Capitals on Thursday night, they announced that Kyle Palmieri was heading to injured reserve, and Michael McLeod was getting the call up from Binghamton. This likely isn’t going to be the only call up happening over the next couple weeks. The Devils are currently 15 points out of a playoff spot (as of Thursday afternoon). There’s just no way they are getting back into it at this point, especially with Mackenzie Blackwood missing time.
That means the Devils are once again going to be sellers at the NHL Trade Deadline.
