The New Jersey Devils are sinking fast. As of this writing, they’ve lost five straight games with no end in sight. Their fifth loss in a row, a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Boston Bruins, was especially embarrassing. You could argue that the Devils were the better team in that game, but it’s […]

When I wrote the Devils’ November Month in Review, the Devils were in first place in the Metropolitan Division. They were in second place in the Eastern Conference.

This one really hurts. Coming off four consecutive regulation losses, the New Jersey Devils travelled up to Boston to take on a Bruins team that they absolutely needed to beat. It’s true that Boston is off to a better start than most anticipated through the first two months of the season, but this is still […]

Welp. Not much to highlight here, as the Devils drop their fourth straight and second consecutive 3-0 shutout at the hands of our old pal Akira Schmid and the Vegas Golden Knights. The first period started with the Devils on their heels and disjointed as they featured some new look lines. They didn’t register a […]

Last Devils Game On Wednesday night, the Devils lost to the Dallas Stars in New Jersey. There are not many positive things to say about this game, if we are being honest. The team got shut out, so obviously no one got on the score sheet. I am not going to do my usual routine […]

Injuries have taken their toll on the New Jersey Devils so far this season. They’ve lost games from players at every position this year, both for short and extended periods of time. While it worked for a bit and the team was able to tread water and continue to amass points, they’ve hit a bit […]

With each new loss it becomes more and more obvious just how badly the New Jersey Devils miss Jack Hughes. Take Wednesday night’s game against Western Conference powerhouse Dallas at Prudential Center. The Devils had nothing. At virtually no point during a 3-0 whitewash did they ever give the impression they had a chance of […]

I have to ask these questions before we start this week. Is Canada some sort of fantasy land where people just say things and expect it to come to fruition? Do Canadian NHL front offices, media, and fanbases think all of the teams, fanbases, and media of teams from ‘The States” or “Down South” were […]

That one hurt, literally and figuratively. Bad enough for the once unbeatable-at-home Devils to have dropped two in a row to a pair of division rivals at Prudential Center in what, let’s face it, were the most winnable games on this current four-game homestand. But to lose in the manner they did by blowing a […]

This past Saturday, the New Jersey Devils lost in regulation to the Philadelphia Flyers. It was their second regulation loss to Philadelphia in a week. Those losses by themselves don’t spell doom for New Jersey, but they are emblematic of a budding concern for the team: Mediocre results against Metropolitan Division opponents. Just take a […]

What Happened in November? November started excellently. The Devils went 4-1-1 through the first six games of the month, though four of those games (3-0-1) went to overtime.
