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. […]

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?

Much ink has been spilt this year over the Devils’ inability to play in a cohesive two-way system.

But the more I watch the New Jersey Devils, the more I think that they could save themselves […]
The New Jersey Devils made a huge selection with their first-round pick in 2024—in more ways than one. 6-foot-7 defenseman Anton Silayev was selected with the 10th overall pick, though the Devils knew that he had a contract with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL that would run through the 2025-26 season. Now that that contract is coming to an end in short order, the plan for the Devils and their top prospect is to get him here to North America in time for Development Camp this sum...
