A world class blog for Jersey's team: the New Jersey Devils
Look at the Devils delivering maximum damage to a pair of Metropolitan Division rivals this week, although in very different ways. First, on Tuesday, they rolled over and played dead for a hapless Rangers team that got two points that won’t help them in their race to the bottom for Gavin McKenna. Forty-eight hours later […]

The goaltending for the New Jersey Devils has been an often touched upon issue this season. With Jacob Markstrom looking to be declining, and Jake Allen being used exclusively as a backup despite having better stats, the team has struggled to pick up wins with regularity. While the rest of the team is far from […]
The Matchup: New Jersey Devils (38-34-2) @ Washington Capitals (38-28-9) The Time: 7:30pm ET The Broadcast: Hulu, ESPN+, Devils Hockey Radio Network Last Devils Game A dismal 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers at MSG on Tuesday. Connor Brown was the long goal-scorer, while Jacob Markstrom played poorly and then delivered the most notable part of the night: […]
The Vegas Golden Knights made the decision over the weekend to fire head coach Bruce Cassidy and replace him with John Tortorella with eight games remaining in the regular season. On the surface, it might be surprising to some. After all, Cassidy is one of the best head coaches in the entire league. Cassidy won […]

The […]
Tonight was the third and final meeting between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers. In a season where just about everything has gone wrong, games against the Rangers were an oasis in a desert. New Jersey had won the previous two meetings by identical 6-3 final scores, and each contest was about […]

Goaltender Nico Daws became the Utica Comets all-time wins leader this past week. It took a 2-1 shootout victory, but Nico Daws defeated Laval last week to sneak past Thatcher Demko as the Utica Comets all-time leader in wins with 56. The Comets, who at least temporarily have slipped past the Belleville Senators into sixth […]

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, […]

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. […]

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, […]

Watching tonight’s game between the New Jersey Devils and the Nashville Predators made something very clear to me: top-end talent matters a lot. This isn’t anything new, every hockey fan (or sports fan in general) knows this. But watching tonight’s contest made that sentiment crystal clear, as top-end talent was the difference in the Devils’ […]

As the 2025-26 season draws towards a disappointing end, the New Jersey Devils enter a summer where they will have a number of players with one year remaining on multi-year deals. This means they will be eligible to sign an extension as soon as the beginning of free agency on July 1. Today, we look […]
