Are they ready to push all-in before the window closes with Matt Schaefer's ELC?</p><p><br></p><p>The Devils finally show signs of life with a strong 60-minute effort against Minnesota — Nico Hischier dominant, Jesper Bratt snapping out of it, and Dougie Hamilton delivering when it mattered most. But the drama lingers: is the Hamilton healthy scratch / return saga salvageable, or is the point of no return already here?</p><p><br></p><p>The Rangers continue tiptoeing toward rock bottom: brutal turnovers, no pushback, self-doubt creeping in, questionable roster decisions, and a franchise feel that's completely off (no welcome-back video for Ryan Lindgren?!).
