The New Jersey Devils have surged to a 9‑5‑0 record early in the 2026‑27 season, winning seven of their last nine games—including wins over the Avalanche, Stars and Golden Knights—after a shaky 2‑3‑0 start. New go‑ahead goalie Connor Hellebuyck has won his first two starts, and the team’s underlying metrics rank near the league’s top, putting them on a 108‑point pace.

Monday's FTB: Trades already
The Capitals acquire AHL goalie Remi Poirier from New Jersey after trading a pick for the Devils' waiver claim, adding him as a third netminder while they await Connor Hellebuyck. Poirier hasn’t played yet and may sit on waivers as insurance. Meanwhile, Red Wings AGM Kris Draper’s presence at Capitals games fuels trade speculation, and Dylan Larkin lists Washington as a possible destination. In the trade market, Nashville sends Matthew Wood to Seattle for former first-rounder Shane Wright, both still unproven at the NHL level. League-wide stats show goals per game at 3.15—the highest since the early ’90s—while save percentage drops to .891, the lowest since 1989‑90, suggesting a tricky start for goaltenders. The Leafs’ five‑on‑five play remains underwhelming as the season settles.

Currently, Larkin’s list includes the Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden Knights, Minnesota Wild, Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche, Tampa Bay Lightning, New Jersey Devils, Washington Capitals, Utah Mammoth and Carolina Hurricanes. Elliotte Friedman notes he could drop teams like Vegas and Florida and add new suitors such as the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres or New York Rangers. Minnesota remains the frontrunner, while Larkin’s decision to sit out the 2026‑27 season—prompting an unpaid suspension—adds urgency to the trade saga.

The move adds a future draft asset as the Devils, now 9‑5 with 18 points, chase a playoff spot. Hellebuyck arrives with a 1.50 GAA in two wins and a career 347 regular‑season victories, a splash that center Jack Hughes says shows the club’s commitment.

The move leaves Connor Hellebuyck and Jake Allen as the Devils' NHL netminders, adds a seventh‑rounder to New Jersey’s five 2027 picks, and frees roughly $850,000 in cap space, bringing the roster down to 42 contracts ahead of Tuesday’s game against Edmonton.

November packs a brutal 15-game stretch for the Edmonton Oilers, with nine road trips and back‑to‑back 9 p.m. Saturday showdowns against Vancouver and Seattle.
