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. […]

Center Samu Salminen had a monster night for Denver. Let’s talk about it. Salminen’s Big Night On November 21st, Samu Salminen had a four point (1 goal, 3 assist) effort against ASU, the second four point night of his career. Followed up by another point in the game after that, Salminen’s point totals are now […]
The New Jersey Devils snapped their three-game losing streak thanks to a gutsy 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.

Happy Thanksgiving week to you and yours. As we get set to celebrate one of the most important American holidays (and notable NHL standings benchmarks), I figured this would be as good a time as any to take stock of what our favorite team, the New Jersey Devils, have to be thankful for.

Hello friends, It’s been a bit since I’ve been able to sit down and write a non-recap blog, life and stuff. We just passed the quarter mark of the season, and it’s been a pretty wild ride so far. I’ve been writing this periodically over the past week, and this paragraph has changed 4 times […]
Happy Sunday. The New Jersey Devils do not play today, as they have returned home to prepare for a stretch of largely home games in the coming weeks. It will be good for the Devils to get off the road, considering their poor injury luck and far better home performances. Aside from the Devils, though, […]
Imagine, if you will, that you are a New Jersey Devils fan that sat down to watch tonight’s game against the rival Philadelphia Flyers. Through the first 20 minutes or so of real time, you witnessed things going pretty well. After a sluggish start for both sides, you saw the Devils cash in on an […]

Watching yesterday’s matchup between the New Jersey Devils and the Florida Panthers, it struck me how the team still seems like they are looking for Jack Hughes out there on the ice. Nobody can replace a transcendent offensive center like him, sure, but should the Devils look this poor without him? Last season, after the […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links The Devils came close to tying things up late but were shut out for the first time this season Thursday night as the Panthers took a 1-0 win. [Devils NHL] A sizable concern for this season: Some encouraging news: A defense of Tom Fitzgerald: “His drafting has […]
It’s going to be a very long two months. Just a week after losing Jack Hughes to a freak injury at a team dinner, the Devils are finding out just how much they’re going to miss their leading scorer and franchise player. And, it’s a lot. Sam Reinhart scored the game’s only goal and Sergei […]

It’s unbelievably frustrating to be writing another piece about the New Jersey Devils’ goaltending, but after this past Tuesday’s game against Tampa Bay, it’s the prominent topic at the front of my mind. This is the second season now of the Devils running a Jacob Markstrom/Jake Allen tandem after bringing Allen back just before he […]
Last Devils Game On Tuesday night, the Devils lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Florida, by a score of 5-1. Dawson Mercer got the scoring started for Tampa Bay with an atrocious turnover right inside the blue line of the Tampa OZ. After passing the puck about 5 feet behind Timo Meier AND outside […]
