Welp. Not much to highlight here, as the Devils drop their fourth straight and second consecutive 3-0 shutout at the hands of our old pal Akira Schmid and the Vegas Golden Knights. The first period started with the Devils on their heels and disjointed as they featured some new look lines. They didn’t register a […]

Last Devils Game On Wednesday night, the Devils lost to the Dallas Stars in New Jersey. There are not many positive things to say about this game, if we are being honest. The team got shut out, so obviously no one got on the score sheet. I am not going to do my usual routine […]

With each new loss it becomes more and more obvious just how badly the New Jersey Devils miss Jack Hughes. Take Wednesday night’s game against Western Conference powerhouse Dallas at Prudential Center. The Devils had nothing.

That one hurt, literally and figuratively. Bad enough for the once unbeatable-at-home Devils to have dropped two in a row to a pair of division rivals at Prudential Center in what, let’s face it, were the most winnable games on this current four-game homestand.
