“Almost any way you spin it, Glass has been one of the best third-line centers in the league — arguably the best. His goal-scoring production is league-best in that regard, and his underlying statistical profile is similarly high-end. Of all 32 third-line centers in the NHL, there is one (1) who has been above-average in every single metric listed above, from offensive impact to defensive impact to sG to RAPM to point production: Cody Glass.” [Devils’ Advocates]
“It’s no secret that the 2025-26 New Jersey Devils have struggled to score goals consistently. Per Natural Stat Trick, their 1.94 goals per 60 minutes (GF/60) at 5v5 ranks dead last in the league…and it’s not even really that close. Every other NHL team scores goals at least 6.2% more often.” [The Hockey Writers]
“After being scratched on Jan. 11 in a move that appeared to put his future with the New Jersey Devils in doubt, Dougie Hamilton might be set to stay put in the wake of Luke Hughes’ shoulder injury.” [Sportsnet]

“In what was expected to be a retooling year, (Penguins GM) Kyle Dubas is in an interesting spot leading up to the trade deadline. Does he stay the course and continue to accumulate prospects and picks? Or will he consider adding to try to help the Pens secure a playoff spot? The second option has to be tempting. Any time you have Crosby on the roster playing at a high level, you don’t want to waste it, and if the Penguins get in, nobody would envy a first-round matchup against one of the game’s all-time greatest players.” [Sportsnet]
