Connor Hellebuyck's highly anticipated return to Winnipeg will have to wait, and the New Jersey Devils have sparked a major controversy with their decision to keep him out of Tuesday's game against the Jets. Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski break down the statement released by Devils GM Sunny Mehta following New Jersey's shutout victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, the reasoning behind the decision, and why Hellebuyck was adamant about facing his former team. Did the Devils make the right call? Why release such a detailed public statement? And do Winnipeg Jets fans deserve the chance to welcome Hellebuyck back after his messy departure from the organization? Keith Kavanagh of PuckPedia joins the show to offer additional perspective from the Devils' side, provide context surrounding the decision, and help unpack one of the NHL's biggest stories. Elsewhere, the guys recap a busy Hockey Hall of Fame weekend, including Brady Tkachuk dropping the gloves with Nikita Zadorov, the Chicago Blackhawks' continued struggles and commitment to Jeff Blashill, Cutter Gauthier's latest hat trick against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Calgary Flames picking up a win, and much more from around the NHL.
