The first game without Morgan Rielly – who will not require surgery – is tonight against the ice cold New Jersey Devils.
The Devils won a coin toss last week in overtime, beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2.
The Leafs have lost just once in the last 11 games, the Devils haven’t even lost a single time in their last 13.
The difference between the two teams? The Devils are 3-0 in OT while the Leafs are 1-5. There is a lot of annoying consternation about the Leafs OT record, but they should complertely ignore it, not talk about it, not practice it more or really, care about it in any way.
