The Nashville Predators face a dilemma regarding star goalie Juuse Saros this summer. Saros is a free agent following the 2024-25 NHL season. Nashville could certainly work out a contract with their star netminder. However, they would certainly have a robust market if they entertained trading him. One interested team is likely to be the […]

Jacob Markstrom’s time with the Calgary Flames may be coming to an end soon. The 34-year-old goalie has been critical of Calgary’s brass before for their handling of past trade talks, which couldn’t get a deal done. New reporting suggests that Markstrom could be moved this offseason. According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, the […]

While speaking to The […]

The New Jersey Devils have found their new head coach. Sheldon Keefe is taking over the bench in New Jersey after years with the Toronto Maple Leafs. It’s an important time for the Devils and Keefe.

The New Jersey Devils did not have the season they were hoping for in the 2023-24 campaign, and they are going to be looking to make some big moves this offseason in an effort to back into the playoff hunt next season. The biggest need the team has right now appears to be in the […]

He’s been one of the more consistent point producers in the NHL during his career, and he’s once again set to become a free agent. Tyler Toffoli, who played last season with the New Jersey Devils and Winnipeg Jets while amassing an impressive output of 33 goals and 22 assists. It marked the second straight […]

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov will forever be known as the first goaltender since Ed Belfour in 2004 to help the franchise advance past the 1st round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, that likely won’t be enough to entice management to offer him a 3rd year wearing the Leafs crest. Joseph Woll’s emergence […]

The New Jersey Devils introduced Sheldon Keefe as their new head coach not long after he was dismissed by the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he reflected on his time with the Maple Leafs in his press conference with the Devils. “After five years and six playoff rounds, I’m a far better coach than when I […]

The New Jersey Devils didn’t take long to find a new head coach after interim Travis Green was hired by the Ottawa Senators earlier this offseason.

After parting ways with Lindy Ruff, the New Jersey Devils have found their next head coach. The Devils have reportedly agreed on a four-year deal to make Sheldon Keefe their new team leader, per TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.

The New Jersey Devils had a massively disappointing 2023-2024 season, and a large part of that was due to the regression of captain Nico Hischier, who is now working on his game by playing in the IIHF World Championships with Switzerland, and he had a scary moment on Monday against Team Czechia when he drove […]

The New Jersey Devils are still seeking to fulfill their open head coaching role, and with Sheldon Keefe on the market after being fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs, he has become a serious candidate for the opening, according to Jim Biringer of Full Press Hockey.

The New Jersey Devils were fully expecting to still be playing hockey in May of 2024 after an excellent 2022-23 campaign that saw the team finish third in regular-season standings and beat the favored New York Rangers in Round 1. But after a hugely disappointing 2023-24 season in Newark, it’s back to the drawing board […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins surged at the end of the regular season and made a run at the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Despite a record of 8-2-2 in their last 12 games, the Penguins failed to make the playoffs for the second consecutive season. Pittsburgh had made the NHL postseason for 16 consecutive […]

The New Jersey Devils announced Tuesday that forward Timo Meier is slated to have offseason surgery on his shoulder. The surgery will be performed by team doctors. It is not expected to keep Meier out for the start of training camp in September. In his first full season with the Devils, Meier scored 28 goals […]

The New Jersey Devils began the 2023-24 NHL season with heightened expectations, and for good reason.

New Jersey’s […]

The New Jersey Devils entered the 2023-24 NHL season as favorites to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In fact, some considered them contenders for the Stanley Cup. It wasn’t a question of if New Jersey was making it, it was whether they’d make it as a division champion. However, reality is much different than expectations. […]

The New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs have seen plenty of each other over the last two weeks. The Devils entered Toronto on March 26th and doubled the Leafs, winning 6-3.

The New Jersey Devils absorbed a massive blow with the news of star center Jack Hughes being sidelined for the remainder of the season, as he is scheduled to go under the knife to repair a shoulder injury this Wednesday. The update was announced by New Jersey on the team’s official website. “In recent conversations […]

Say what you will about the current state of these teams, but there is no love lost between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils. We saw this a few weeks ago after Matt Rempe’s hit on Jonas Siegenthaler. On Wednesday, though, Travis Green and Peter Laviolette had their teams hash things out even […]

The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers already have a long-standing history of beef. These cross-river rivals have not relented in sending messages and getting into fistfights with one another since 1982. A new chapter was added to this back on March 11th when Peter Laviolette and Travis Green’s squads faced each other. Matt […]

Although there was some hope in Newark that Dougie Hamilton might be able to rejoin the New Jersey Devils if they’re able to secure a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, that no longer seems to be the case. Hamilton “probably won’t” return to the ice in 2023-24, interim head coach Travis Green confirmed […]

The New Jersey Devils have fallen behind in the race for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. And on Friday night, their fortunes didn’t get any better. Buffalo Sabres star Tage Thompson scored four goals to propel his team to a 5-2 victory. After the game, New Jersey captain Nico Hischier had a brutally honest review of […]

Martin Brodeur is undisputedly one the greatest goaltenders of all time, winning three Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils over 22 NHL seasons and entering the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2018. The 51-year-old has remained involved in the game post-retirement, joining the Devils as executive vice president of business development and transitioning to […]

Defense has been an issue for the New Jersey Devils in the 2023-24 NHL regular season, which is also why it made sense for them to trade for Montreal Canadiens netminder Jake Allen. But Allen, who will be earning $2.3 million in the 2024-25 NHL season, is probably not the end for the Devils’ pursuit […]

The New York Rangers beat the New Jersey Devils 3-1 on Monday night, but it didn’t come without controversy. Rookie Matt Rempe was ejected late in the second period after a dirty elbow on Jonas Siegenthaler. He’ll have a phone hearing on Tuesday as reported by Pierre LeBrun, which is likely to result in a […]

The New Jersey Devils were not happy after their game on Monday night. New Jersey lost to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, for one thing. The team also lost defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler in the game after a dangerous hit from rookie forward Matt Rempe. Rempe received five minutes for elbowing and a […]

The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils are certainly not friends. However, their contest on Monday night was more chippy than usual. And the main suspects are players one would expect — Rangers forward Matt Rempe and Devils player Kurtis MacDermid. MacDermid attempted to fight New York’s rookie forward throughout the game on Monday. […]

Based on how this season has gone for the New Jersey Devils, it is only fitting that the team surprises fans at the NHL trade deadline.

The NHL Trade Deadline is upon us. After 3 PM Eastern on Friday, any players traded to another team will no longer be eligible for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The New Jersey Devils have swung some big trades ahead of the trade deadline, and it doesn’t sound like they are done just yet. This time, rather than being a seller like they were in their Tyler Toffoli blockbuster, the Devils are adding to their squad, as they have landed veteran goalie Jake Allen from […]

The New Jersey Devils and general manager Tom Fitzgerald remain interested in acquiring goalies Jacob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames or Linus Ullmark from the Boston Bruins, but could go in a number of different directions if they are unable to acquire one of those two players, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. LeBrun […]

After winning a Stanley Cup in his rookie campaign with the Los Angeles Kings and playing more than seven seasons in California, Tyler Toffoli is onto his fourth team in five campaigns.

The expectations were sky high in 2023-24 for a New Jersey Devils team that finished third in league standings last year and came within two wins of the Eastern Conference Final.

With 21 games to go in the NHL regular season, the New Jersey Devils stand eight points behind the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
