Here are your links for today: Devils Links Another rough outing for the Devils on Wednesday night. The Stars came into Prudential Center and took a 3-0 win as the Devils dropped their third straight. [Devils NHL] Fantastic stuff: “The good news is, their best players will be back. Further, the Metropolitan Division remains wide-open, […]
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 […]
Injuries have taken their toll on the New Jersey Devils so far this season. They’ve lost games from players at every position this year, both for short and extended periods of time. While it worked for a bit and the team was able to tread water and continue to amass points, they’ve hit a bit […]
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. At virtually no point during a 3-0 whitewash did they ever give the impression they had a chance of […]

I have to ask these questions before we start this week. Is Canada some sort of fantasy land where people just say things and expect it to come to fruition? Do Canadian NHL front offices, media, and fanbases think all of the teams, fanbases, and media of teams from ‘The States” or “Down South” were […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links The Devils jumped out to a nice start against the Blue Jackets on Monday but couldn’t hold off Columbus in another spicy matchup. The Blue Jackets took a 5-3 win. [Devils NHL] FWIW: Sheldon Keefe with plenty to say about the fight between Brenden Dillon and Dmitri […]
Last Devils Game On Monday night, the Devils lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets by a score of 5-3. I recently wrote about how everything that could have gone right, went right for the Devils in their game against Buffalo on the day after Thanksgiving. At that point, the Devils had won 3 games in […]
It’s been a mixed year for prospect development in the Devils system, but one Russian defender is rising quickly up the ranks. Orlov’s Breakout Thirty games into the season, Daniil Orlov has already set his KHL career high in points with 16. Drafted as a defensive defenseman, Orlov has shown flashes of offense in the […]
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. But to lose in the manner they did by blowing a […]

This past Saturday, the New Jersey Devils lost in regulation to the Philadelphia Flyers. It was their second regulation loss to Philadelphia in a week. Those losses by themselves don’t spell doom for New Jersey, but they are emblematic of a budding concern for the team: Mediocre results against Metropolitan Division opponents. Just take a […]

What Happened in November? November started excellently. The Devils went 4-1-1 through the first six games of the month, though four of those games (3-0-1) went to overtime. Their only bad game was the back-end of a back-to-back on November 2, when they lost 4-1 to the Anaheim Ducks. On November 12, things finally started […]
You can’t win them all at home, but with a 4 point swing on the line against a frisky Flyers team you’d hope for a better effort than what we got tonight. The Flyers came to the Rock after playing in Long Island last night, while our heroes were back from curb stomping Buffalo. This […]

Last Devils Game On Friday afternoon, the Devils defeated the Buffalo Sabres 5-0. The game started at 4:00pm, which was thanks to it being the day after Thanksgiving. This game had everything a Devils fan could hope for. El Capitan Nico Hischier continued his point streak with his 4th game in a row with at […]

Here are your links for today: Devils Links Simon Nemec played the hero once again as he scored the overtime winner to deliver the Devils a 3-2 win over the Blues on Wednesday. [Devils NHL] Folks, “The Devils have been pleasantly surprised by their youngest rostered defenseman (Simon Nemec), but is it sustainable?” [Devils’ Advocates] […]
Ondrej Palat’s contract has been maligned since the day he signed it with the New Jersey Devils. The five year, $30 million deal that was inked back in July of 2022 was never seen as a deal that would age well. It was a bit too much per season for a guy who had broken […]
First Period The New Jersey Devils had a chance to take a lead in the first minute of the game when Dougie Hamilton bounced the puck off of Jordan Binnington, giving Nico Hischier a rebound opportunity. His shot was saved, and the puck bounced over Timo Meier’s stick as he came crashing towards the crease. […]
