We could be looking at a Black Monday situation when the NHL's 2025-26 regular season comes to a close, according to Sportsnet insider Nick Kypreos. He writes today that three general managers are finding their jobs in jeopardy as we head down the stretch, and all are fearing the pink slip. Toronto, New Jersey and Vancouver are all playing out the string, already out of the playoff race, and needing to consider deep changes throughout their organizations. With less than three weeks...
The New Jersey Devils have been out of the playoff mix for a while now, but at the very least, they could sort of fool themselves into thinking they were still alive based on how many games were left in the season. But as Chris discussed in the preview for yesterday’s game, the embarrassing loss […]

After a terrible loss to the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday evening, which really decimated the New Jersey Devils’ longshot playoff hopes, I was looking for one thing above all in the team tonight: whether or not the Devils would play the game for a full 60 minutes and give their best effort. And to be honest, […]
The Chicago Blackhawks closed out their road trip with a 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Sunday, blowing the lead three times in the process. The Blackhawks opened the scoring 4:19 into the game.

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their road trip with a stop in New Jersey to face the Devils, looking to salvage something, anything , from a stretch that’s quickly gone off the rails. It’s been a while since the Blackhawks last saw the Devils — all the way back in mid-November — and the version of this team now feels pretty different from the one that was still hovering around the playoff picture at the time. The Devils spent the first couple of months flirting with relevance in the Easte...

This game was a real litmus test for the current streaking Devils, and the dumb part of me still wondered “what if.” Welp, that dumb part of me got put away in the middle of the second. As the game wore on, the Canes did what they do – stayed patient, forced mistakes and capitalized. […]
Brandon Bussi made seventeen saves in his best performance since the Olympic Break, the Canes shook off a slow first period, and then dominated the New Jersey Devils from the second period on to win 5-2 at Lenovo Center Saturday.

After a rare three-day break, the Carolina Hurricanes return to action this afternoon as they host the New Jersey Devils at Lenovo Center. The game offers a rare break for the Hurricanes in the midst of a grueling schedule that has them playing teams still vying for a playoff spot. Five of their last six […]
New Jersey Devils fans, your roster is going to look very different next season. General manager Tom Fitzgerald is under the gun, having one last shot this offseason to make significant strides in the right direction. Thanks to a number of key injuries and some unmet expectations, the Devils have once again failed to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Fitzgerald has been aggressive on the trade market, but unfortunately, missed out on Quinn Hughes, which set the team back. Momentum is headin...
James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now raised an interesting possibility this week. The New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs each had disappointing seasons, each missed the playoffs, and each have a piece the other genuinely needs. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported before the March 6 deadline that the Devils were among a handful of teams with "serious interest" in Toronto winger Matthew Knies. He stayed put at the deadline, but that doesn't mean the conversation is over. ...

I do not at all enjoy making this kind of case, but it is one that needs to be made. Last night, Evgenii Dadonov played his 19th game of the season in the place of the injured Arseny Gritsyuk. Why is this such a problem? Per Sheldon Keefe, Gritsyuk is considered week-to-week. That means that, […]

A little bit of this would have gone a long way a couple of weeks ago. Seriously, where was this kind of effort against Calgary and Detroit? Or, for that matter, Washington last Friday? Not that it was perfect by any means, but the Devils team that turned what looked like a surefire, “get-right” game […]
