Devils’ Timo Meier, a controversial collision and the edge between reckless and ‘made for the playoffs’
NEWARK, N.J. — Two years ago, when the New Jersey Devils were in the midst of a seven-game series win against the New York Rangers, Igor Shesterkin joked that Timo Meier must watch a lot of MMA.

It’s a style NHL teams and their fans often applaud come the postseason, when goals are at a premium. New Jersey captain Nico Hischier hinted at as much when he called Meier “made for the playoffs.”But the style also has ramifications. And on Sunday in Game […]
