Prior to the game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Coach Jon Cooper spoke about how the team is dealing with the final weeks of the season. Hockey players are creatures of habit and superstition, so they never want to change things up too much. With no more back-to-backs, Andrei Vasilevskiy is likely to start most of, if not all of the games left on the schedule. The coach spoke about the team “exhaling” a bit too much in the first two periods against Pittsburgh, but bouncing back in the third period.
The New Jersey Devils absorbed a massive blow with the news of star center Jack Hughes being sidelined for the remainder of the season, as he is scheduled to go under the knife to repair a shoulder injury this Wednesday. The update was announced by New Jersey on the team's official website.
As the 2023-2024 NHL regular season slowly comes to a close, many fans will remember it for the drama currently happening in the playoffs, the plethora of new talent that entered and the family ties within the league.

You know how they call Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love?” With those numbers, it's safe to say that the NHL is the “League of Brotherly Love.” For this edition of the Puck Drop, I'll highlight some of these brothers and how they've been impacting the league.
