The New Jersey Devils are reportedly looking to make a significant move to bolster their roster, while updates emerge on Tristan Jarry's injury situation and Owen Tippett's unavailability.

Devils Eyeing Blockbuster Trade

The New Jersey Devils, after a promising start to the season, have been struggling recently, going 3-7-0 in their last 10 games. The absence of key players, particularly Jack Hughes, has impacted their performance. General Manager Tom Fitzgerald is actively exploring trade options to address the team's needs.

Several teams have emerged as potential trade partners for the Devils, including the Vancouver Canucks and the Nashville Predators. Discussions have reportedly taken place between the Devils and Canucks regarding defenseman Quinn Hughes. While nothing is imminent, the possibility of Hughes joining his brothers, Jack and Luke, in New Jersey has been a recurring topic. To acquire Hughes, the Devils would likely need to part with valuable assets, potentially including players like Dawson Mercer and Simon Nemec, as well as draft picks.

In addition to Hughes, the Devils have also expressed interest in veteran forwards Steven Stamkos and Ryan O'Reilly from the Nashville Predators. Both players possess trade protection, meaning they would need to approve any potential move. The Devils possess a wealth of young talent and expendable assets that could be used to facilitate a trade.

Jarry's Injury Complicates Penguins' Goaltending Situation

Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry sustained a lower-body injury on November 3 and was expected to be out for at least three weeks. Jarry has started practicing again and appears to be on track with his recovery.

Prior to the injury, Jarry had been performing well after a challenging previous season. In his absence, the Penguins will need a "collective response" to compensate for the loss of a key veteran player.

Tippett Out of Action for Flyers

Owen Tippett of the Philadelphia Flyers was forced to leave a recent game against the New Jersey Devils after taking a hit from Brenden Dillon. Tippett sustained an undisclosed injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. The Flyers have not yet provided an update on his status.

Tippett, who has 30 points in 51 games this season, is an important part of the Flyers' offense. His absence would be a significant loss for the team. The Flyers will need to make adjustments to their lineup to compensate for Tippett's unavailability.
