The preview previews the New Jersey Devils (6‑4‑0, 5‑2‑0 at home) hosting the Los Angeles Kings (2‑4‑2, 2‑1‑2 on the road) on Oct. 24, 2026 at 3:30 PM EDT. After a 4‑1 win over Anaheim, the Devils have won four of their last five and dominate front‑net traffic, posting 15 high‑danger chances against the Ducks. Forward “Grits” (tied for team lead with five goals) and Nico Daws are key scorers, while goalie Jake Allen is expected to start, with newcomer Connor Hellebuyck likely to split time later.

Report: Islanders Were Almost A Third Team In Hellebuyck Trade
The New York Islanders were floated as a potential third‑party facilitator in a Connor Hellebuyck trade, but the Winnipeg Jets ultimately dealt the 33‑year‑old goalie directly to the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 23. Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff lamented the difficulty of moving a goaltender with Hellebuyck’s $8.5 M cap hit and no‑move clause. New Jersey received Hellebuyck, while Winnipeg acquired forwards Dawson Mercer and Nick Bjugstad, goalie Nico Daws, prospect Alexander Command, a 2029 second‑round pick and a 2027 seventh‑round pick. The Islanders, sitting 5‑3‑2, were only considered as a salary‑absorbing broker. Hellebuyck returns to Winnipeg on Nov. 10 when the Jets host the Devils.

Dylan Larkin Status: How the Connor Hellebuyck Deal Changes Market
The Jets’ trade of Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 23 reshapes Detroit’s pursuit of Dylan Larkin. Larkin, who expanded his approved destinations to ten teams—including New Jersey—faces a market where the Devils have already sunk cap space and assets (forward Dawson Mercer, Nick Bjugstad, goalie Nico Daws, a prospect and two mid‑round picks) for Hellebuyck’s $8.5 M/yr deal. Detroit wants NHL‑ready players now, not just prospects, and must balance Larkin’s $8.7 M cap hit and his no‑trade clause. While Minnesota remains the most active suitor, the Hellebuyck transaction limits New Jersey’s trade capital, potentially narrowing Larkin’s options. The article breaks down the trade details, betting‑market shifts, and why Larkin’s move remains complex.
Dylan Larkin Status: How the Connor Hellebuyck Deal Changes Market
The Winnipeg Jets dealt Vezina‑trophy‑winning goalie Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 23, a move that reshapes Detroit Red Wings’ negotiations over center Dylan Larkin. Larkin, who added New Jersey to his now‑10‑team approved list, still seeks a trade, but the Devils’ hefty price—forward Dawson Mercer, Nick Bjugstad, goaltender Nico Daws, prospect rights and two picks—reduces their cap flexibility for a Larkin package. Detroit’s asking price emphasizes NHL‑ready talent, not prospects, and the Wild remain the most active suitor. As betting odds swing in New Jersey’s favor, the deal underscores how Hellebuyck’s trade impacts Larkin’s market value and Detroit’s leverage.
NHL Notebook: Devils acquire Connor Hellebuyck in blockbuster trade with Jets
The Winnipeg Jets trade Hart‑Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils, ending his off‑season trade saga. In return, the Jets receive forward Dawson Mercer, prospect Alexander Command, goalie Nico Daws, former Oilers centreman Nick Bjugstad and two draft picks, including New Jersey’s 2029 second‑rounder. Hellebuyck, 33, boasts a .916 SV% and three Vezina, a Hart and two Jennings titles in 625 games. Mercer brings 20‑goal scoring potential and a 2026 first‑round pick (12th overall). The article also notes Nick Suzuki’s iron‑man streak ending with an upper‑body injury and former Oiler Vincent Desharnais missing 4‑6 weeks after an appendectomy.
Quinn Hughes, Dylan Larkin continue to be linked to New Jersey Devils
The New Jersey Devils have just landed star goalie Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg in a six‑piece deal and are now eyeing defenseman Quinn Hughes and Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin. Hughes is reportedly waiting to sign with New Jersey on July 1, while Larkin has added the Devils to his trade shortlist, with potential involvement of Jonas Siegenthaler and forward Arseny Gritsyuk to fit the cap. If both moves happen, Mehta could assemble a USA‑centric super‑team centered around Hellebuyck, Hughes and Larkin.
NHL Notebook: Jets trade Hellebuyck to Devils for package of four players and two draft picks
The Winnipeg Jets finally trade veteran goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils, ending an 11‑year stint. Winnipeg receives forwards Nick Bjugstad and Dawson Mercer, backup netminder Nico Daws, 2027 seventh‑round and 2029 second‑round picks, plus prospect Alexander Command. Mercer, a 24‑year‑old who posted 56 points in 2022‑23, adds depth; Bjugstad is sidelined with a pectoral injury until early 2027; Daws posted a 2.78 GAA in four games. The Devils gain a three‑time Vezina winner without surrendering top‑six talent, positioning themselves as a contender for future free‑agents.
The Connor Hellebuyck trade is both good and bad news for the Flyers
The New Jersey Devils acquire Vezina‑winner Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg, sending Dawson Mercer, 12th‑overall pick Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad, goalie Nico Daws and two draft picks in return. The move boosts the Devils' ceiling, moving Jake Allen to backup and putting a proven elite netminder between the pipes as they sit 6‑4‑0 in the Metropolitan. For the Philadelphia Flyers, the trade deepens an already tough schedule; they start 0‑6‑3 and now face a stronger Devils in three upcoming matchups while still battling for a wild‑card spot behind the Rangers, Islanders, Penguins and Blue Jackets. While the deal heightens New Jersey’s playoff odds, it doesn’t dramatically alter the Flyers’ uphill fight in the division.

The clarification comes as the Devils prepare to acquire goalie Connor Hellebuyck, who will join Dillon in New Jersey.
