Olympic updates: Nico Hischier had a goal and two assists as the Swiss advanced to the quarterfinals. Jesper Bratt was scratched but the Swedes advanced as well. [Devils NHL<\/a>]<\/p>\n \u201cDougie Hamilton was one of the New Jersey Devils\u2019 biggest disappointments for the first chunk of the season. He recorded just eight points over the first three months of the campaign, with only one coming in November or December. His production was so non-existent that the Devils actually made Hamilton a healthy scratch. Dougie has been a completely different player since the calendar flipped. He has piled up 13 points over 16 games in 2026, putting him one behind Jack Hughes for the team lead.\u201d [Infernal Access<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n \u201cRetools don\u2019t always have great results, but a few recent examples show that retools on the fly can change the trajectory of a team. Among the successful retools have been the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, and Washington Capitals. The Devils could learn a thing or two from each as they begin a retool of their own.\u201d [Devils on the Rush<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n Some analysis of the remaining games in the Olympic men\u2019s hockey tournament: [The Athletic<\/a> ($)] [ESPN<\/a>]<\/p>\n USA and Canada will play for gold in the women\u2019s tournament: \u201cOver nearly three decades, the Canada-USA rivalry has been among the best in sport, with the two sides in a near-constant battle for women\u2019s hockey supremacy. The cross-border rivals have combined to win every Olympic gold medal \u2014 Canada has a 5-2 edge \u2014 and all 24 Women\u2019s World Championships.\u201d [The Athletic<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n \u201cFrom an outside lens, Norway\u2019s lack of hockey success doesn\u2019t make much sense, especially considering its status in other winter sports. It\u2019s in a region with excellent hockey nearby. Sweden has a larger population, but Finland doesn\u2019t. What\u2019s stopping Norway from having a larger hockey presence?\u201d [The Athletic<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n \u201cThe hockey boards at Santagiulia Arena have been changed to a lighter color beginning Tuesday after feedback from teams and federations, including the NHL and NHL Players\u2019 Association.\u201d [ESPN<\/a>]<\/p>\n \u201cConnor McDavid leads the Olympic tournament in scoring with nine points, but Team Canada\u2019s top-line centre is contributing in so many ways beyond just goals and assists. \u2018I mean, he\u2019s doing everything,\u2019 said captain Sidney Crosby. \u2018Whether it\u2019s with the puck, without the puck, [being] physical, he\u2019s leading by example in every possible way. He\u2019s poised. Guys have taken some runs at him, he just continues to play. He\u2019s shown a lot of focus that way. He\u2019s been leading the way for sure.\u2019\u201d [TSN<\/a>]<\/p>\n Feel free to discuss these and any other hockey-related stories in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here are your links for today: Olympic updates: Nico Hischier had a goal and two assists as the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462011,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5109],"tags":[201,26250,5,576,151,5185,5184,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-462010","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-jersey-devils","8":"tag-devils","9":"tag-devils-in-the-details","10":"tag-hockey","11":"tag-new-jersey","12":"tag-new-jersey-devils","13":"tag-newjersey","14":"tag-newjerseydevils","15":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116091845615352035","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
