The New Jersey Devils dropped their recent matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2. However, the main talking point was the collision between Timo Meier and Martin Necas in the third period. Upon review, the referees handed Meier a game misconduct for kneeing Necas. But the final assessment was extremely controversial. To add insult to injury, Necas' theatrics certainly didn't make things any...

The team is near the top in a lot of statistical categories and le...

General manager Tom Fitzgerald recently had a media availability and was asked about Jacob Markstrom. He did say that Markstrom could be better if you asked him, but people are taking his statements out of context. Even though I talked about it in the previous episode, I wanted to address it in more detail. On a more positive note, the chemistry within the New Jersey Devils locker room seems to be...

Jack Hughes recorded a shorthanded assist in the previous game against the Los Angeles Kings. Sheldon Keefe spoke highly of Hughes' defensive potential and the trust he has in him. Hughes obviously has a lot of offensive talent, but it's nice to see him taking strides in his defensive game as well. I decided to revisit the Max Pacioretty and Brenden Dillon situation from a few days ago.  Interview...

Former longtime head coach Jacque Lemaire is set to be inducted into the New Jersey Devils' Ring of Honor in 2025.

The Devils are set to play the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight, but might be short of a goa...
