Latest news and updates about the Devils
It’s the regular season home finale, folks! Believe it or not, this is not the most significant Bruins-Devils game of the past couple of weeks. When searching for an image for a “Bruins Devils” image for this post, I got a bunch of results for the Duke Blue Devils vs. the UCLA Bruins in Elite […]
Good morning, Devils fans. Today is a rougher day than it should be, marking the end of Devils hockey in the 2025-26 season. The Devils have undeniable talent at the top of their roster, and that was on display down the stretch, once they were a bit too far out of the playoff picture to […]
The Matchup The New Jersey Devils (42-36-3) @ Boston Bruins (44-27-10) The Time: 7:00pm The Broadcast: MSG, Devils Radio Network Last Devils Game On Sunday, the Devils played their final home game of the season. It took overtime, but New Jersey won one last time in their Jersey jerseys over the Ottawa Senators by a 4-3 final score. […]
Well, this sucks. The margins in this league are tight. I wrote a post over the weekend fantasizing over the idea that the Islanders could ride their late-season New Coach Bump to a win over Ottawa. Had that happened, and had the Red Wings held on to one of their many one-goal leads over the Devils, we’d be in business right now. Ottawa lost to New Jersey last night, so had the hockey gods felt differently, we could be looking at a two-point gap, with a game in a hand, and some control ov...
Here are your links for today: Devils Links A pair of Jesper Bratt goals pushed the Devils to a 5-3 win over the Red Wings on Saturday as Detroit was eliminated from playoff contention.

This is our final home game until September, and the Devils are giving us a real […]
The Vancouver Canucks traded multiple players this season to kick off their rebuild. This will likely carry over to the summer, and one specific Canucks forward who could be a trade candidate to watch is Drew O'Connor. The 27-year-old forward will be a pending UFA in 2026-27 and could be a good trade chip for the Canucks to dangle during the summer. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire O'Connor during the offseason. New Jersey Devils The Devils need to ad...
If we weren’t going to make the playoffs, the next best thing is to ruin other team’s chances. Even better is when it’s one of my top 5 most hated teams in Detroit, so a nice little Saturday, all things considered. 1st Period However, it was an absolutely awful start to this game, as the […]

Last Devils Game This week, the Devils had back to back games against the two NHL team from Pennsylvania, the Penguins and Flyers. In their usual 2025-2026 fashion, the Devils came up short in both games. On Thursday night, the Devils lost to the playoff bound Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2. It was the second game in […]
The New Jersey Devils' next order of business as the 2025-26 season comes to an end is to name a new president of hockey operations and/or general manager. But whoever the new man on the job is, he'll have a critical top priority to take care of in short order. Perennial 30-ish goal scorer Nico Hischier is just one year from free agency. As of July 1, he'll be eligible for an extension. Something needs to happen on that front. ASAP, says insider Chris Johnston on his podcast : Probably t...
The New Jersey Devils are officially eliminated. And this time, they won’t even be able to claim that the conference was just too difficult or that they matched last season’s record. They will fall short of 90 points in the standings. And unless they score 10 goals a game for the rest of the season, […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the playoffs, officially clinching their spot on Thursday night with a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils. It ends a three-year playoff drought and gets them back into the playoffs far sooner than anybody expected when Kyle Dubas was hired as general manager to start rebuilding the organization. […]
The New Jersey Devils have had a very disappointing 2025-26 season. Due to this, there is a chance that they could look to shake up their roster this offseason because of it. One Devils forward who is standing out as a potential trade candidate heading into the offseason is Timo Meier. The 29-year-old winger has simply not been a good fit in New Jersey, so let's look at three teams that could target him this offseason. Chicago Blackhawks The Blackhawks could be a team to watch this...
Here are your links for today: Devils Links Sigh. The Devils dropped a 5-2 loss to the Penguins Thursday night. [Devils NHL] “…It would stand to reason that teams with front office openings would want to emulate the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. There would be curiosity as to how the sausage is […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the New Jersey Devils 5-2 on Thursday night, capitalizing on quick-strike offense and pulling away in the third period against a New Jersey team already thinking about summer plans. The win officially gave Pittsburgh a playoff berth for the first time in […]
As we play out the string here after being eliminated on Tuesday, the best you can hope for is to see a little pride in the Devils game. Or if you are team tank, you’re gleefully tapping your fingers like Mr. Burns and saying “excellent.” 1st Period I was a little surprised to see the […]
Pregame The Penguins are without the services of Connor Dewar (undisclosed lower body injury, day-to-day) so Avery Hayes slots back into the lineup. The Penguins do get Stuart Skinner back from his eye injury and he starts. Their opponents, the Devils, are working with these players and lines for the night, sans Luke Hughes who […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs ' GM search has been loaded with rumors of potential candidates. But after the news dropped today by insider Pierre LeBrun, it appears that one man may be emerging as a top candidate. The Leafs have obtained permission to speak with Florida Panthers' assistant general manager Sunny Mehta.
