Locked On Devils - Daily Podcast On The New Jersey Devils

The NHL Draft Lottery is scheduled for May 7th. The New Jersey Devils have the 10th best odds of landing the first overall pick. Obviously, the main goal for the Devils next season is to get back into the playoffs. A lot of people have been speculating about Tom Fitzgerald making a big move. But everybody seems to forget that the Devils have a valuable asset and that's their projected top-10 pick...

While on NHL Network a few weeks ago, Mike Rupp controversially said that the New Jersey Devils should pursue Brady Tkachuk. That's quite the take considering that Tkachuk is one of the best players on the Ottawa Senators and also their captain. He would definitely bring a lot more scoring and physicality. However, there's more to this scenario than what people realize. Check out one of Nick Villa...

Timo Meier led the New Jersey Devils in a few statistical categories. However, he recently underwent shoulder surgery. Meaning he was still dealing with something despite finishing the season on a high note. He recently revealed the injuries that he was dealing with at the beginning of the year. His valiant efforts really should highlight him as a player. Interview soundbite: Timo Meier Follow & S...

Dougie Hamilton's 2023-24 season was cut short due to injury. People seem to have mixed emotions about his time so far with the New Jersey Devils. While I understand that he isn't perfect, his impact was dearly missed on the Devils' blueline. Once he went down, the defensive impact seemed to get worse.

Kaapo Kahkonen is set to become an unrestricted free agent. He actually impressed me during his short stint this season. He was acquired by the New Jersey Devils during the trade deadline. The team gave up Vitek Vanecek for his services. Since his production was respectable, Tom Fitzgerald might consider re-signing him.

The New Jersey Devils finished second last in the Metropolitan Division. Given the amount of expectations heading into the season, they severely underperformed. However, a lot of factors certainly didn't go their way. They dealt with a lot of injuries, a coaching change, and a lot more. Luckily, the offseason will give them a chance to hit the reset button.

The 2023-24 season is now officially over for the New Jersey Devils. They lost to the New York Islanders 4-1 on Fan Appreciation Night. It was another disappointing game for the Devils, but that's been their brand all season long. It's time to shift the focus over to the offseason and the potential moves that Tom Fitzgerald could make. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.c...

It was an absolute barn burner as the New Jersey Devils defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5. The Devils scored three power-play goals and Timo Meier helped lead the charge. Jesper Bratt came up big in the third period and is now a point-per-game player. The Devils captured the season series against the Leafs, defeating them two games to one.

A couple of days ago, it was revealed that Jack Hughes would be shut down the rest of the season. He recently had season-ending shoulder surgery in Vail, Colorado. Since the New Jersey Devils were already eliminated from playoff contention, it didn't matter either way. Hughes has been dealing with a few injuries throughout the season. So, it raises the question if he was truly healthy or not the p...

From Jack Hughes now scheduled to get shoulder surgery to now being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, it's been a rough few days for the New Jersey Devils. They lost their more recent matchup to the Toronto Maples Leafs 5-2. The Devils had a 2-1 lead at one point but allowed the Maple Leafs to score four unanswered goals. This game highlighted the Devils' continued flaws all seaso...

It was a long time coming, but heavyweights Kurtis MacDermid and Matt Rempe finally dropped the mitts within the first two seconds of the game. Not only that but was a complete 5-on-5 line brawl to open up the game. Things got out of hand at Madison Square Garden as there were 162 penalty minutes assessed after the first period. The New Jersey Devils lost 4-3 to the New York Rangers after all the...

The New Jersey Devils blew a 3-1 lead to the Pittsburgh Penguins. They had an epic meltdown in the third period by allowing five unanswered goals. Some players admitted postgame that the team was playing scared once the Penguins amounted the comeback. The Devils' playoff chances have dipped below 2%.

Despite being given a golden opportunity to gain some traction in the wild card standings, the New Jersey Devils blew their chance against the Buffalo Sabres. Tage Thompson had four goals and the Devils made some careless mistakes. I wanted to believe in them, but the only consistent thing about this team is their inconsistency.

The New Jersey Devils' next matchup will be against the Buffalo Sabres. However, there's a lot more meaning to this specific game. Because all three playoff contenders (Detroit Red Wings, Washington Capitals, and Philadelphia Flyers) lost their recent matchups. A victory will put the Devils just three points behind a wild card spot. Despite still competing for a playoff position, a lot of people w...

The trade deadline was a few weeks ago, but the New Jersey Devils are still feeling its impact. They were essentially sellers at the deadline, but it seems as some of their additions are working out. It was sad to see somebody like Tyler Toffoli leave, but it was the correct business decision. The Devils' playoff chances are still unlikely, but at least they have a fighting chance.   Follow & Subs...

The New Jersey Devils still have a pulse. They came away with a huge upset victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite a strong showing from the opposition, the Devils relied on another strong goalie performance from Jake Allen. The offense also came alive and netted crucial goals at the right time. The Devils' playoff chances have increased to 13% for the time being. Follow & Subscribe on all P...

Timo Meier had a productive day against the New York Islanders. He recorded a Gordie Howe Hat Trick and stood up for Nico Hischier after Anders Lee kneed him in the second period. Kaapo Kahkonen picked up right where Jake Allen left off and had a strong performance in net. The Devils are now five points out of a playoff position.

After getting off to better starts in their past three games, the New Jersey Devils returned to Earth against the Ottawa Senators. The Devils once again allowed the opening goal (while the Sens were shorthanded nonetheless) and got off to a plodding start. Despite a strong start to the second, the Devils failed to maintain their momentum. Their playoff chances are less likely considering the circu...

The New Jersey Devils pulled off a March Madness upset victory over the Winnipeg Jets. They did so in a convincing fashion mainly due to their power play success. While the victory itself was great, the team still has a lot of work to do if they want to sneak their way into the playoffs. Tyler Toffoli and Colin Miller made their return to the Prudential Center. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast pl...
