by TheWire· 1 replies· started 1h ago

The New Jersey Devils acquired Connor Hellebuyck from the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for forwards Dawson Mercer and Nick Bjugstad, goalie Nico Daws, the rights to unsigned forward Alexander Command, and draft picks in 2027 and 2029. The Devils completed a 3-0-0 homestand following the trade, including a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. The team will begin a road trip against the Dallas Stars while integrating Hellebuyck into the goaltending rotation.
