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 want to see Tom Fitzgerald get fired, similar to Lindy Ruff.

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 circumstances.

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.

The New Jersey Devils weren't super lucky in Sin City. As they ran out of energy against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions. The Vegas Golden Knights made Jake Allen work all night long. Allen won the battle more times than not and kept the Devils in the game. However, their luck finally ran out in the third period. The Devils' playoff chances look less likely, especially with how some of their star players have performed. Recorded live from T-Mobile Arena (Las Vegas, NV) Postgame...

Another "winnable" game for the New Jersey Devils goes for not, as they lost to the Arizona Coyotes 4-1. The Devils are six points out of a wild-card position. But they continue to make it more difficult for themselves. The only consistent thing about this team is their inconsistency. Their next matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights won't be easy.

The New Jersey Devils lost to the New York Rangers for the third time this season. While the gameplay was uneventful, Matt Rempe still made it memorable. This time, he committed another dirty play on Jonas Siegenthaler and injured him. Earlier in the game he turned down a fight with Kurtis MacDermid. He needs to learn better "NHL etiquette".

The New Jersey Devils' fans' prayers have been answered: Lindy Ruff was relieved of his head coaching duties yesterday. Travis Green was named interim head coach. Obviously, a drastic move was necessary given how disappointing the season has gone for New Jersey. But Tom Fitzgerald might've waited a little too long to finally make a big move. The Devils' playoff chances are still possible, but unlikely. Player interview soundbites: Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, & Timo Meier Follow &...

The New Jersey Devils dropped their second of three games during their California road trip. Despite Timo Meier scoring the opening goals against the Los Angeles Kings, the Devils allowed five unanswered goals in return. The goaltending and defense was atrocious once again, and the offense seemed timid to shoot. With limited games remaining, things aren't looking so good for New Jersey.

It's a little confusing, but the New Jersey Devils acquired the Dallas Stars' fourth-round pick in 2026 for facilitating an existing trade between the Calgary Flames and Stars for Chris Tanev. At the end of the day, it doesn't cost the Devils anything. However, they now have an extra draft pick that they could use in a future deal.

It's been almost a year since the New Jersey Devils obtained Timo Meier from the San Jose Sharks. It seemed like a good fit initially, but this season has been a struggle for Meier. He signed an eight-year extension over the summer, and people are saying it might be the worst contract in recent Devils history. However, people might be too quick to judge. Isaac Poulter was called up to the Devils while Akira Schmid was sent back down to Utica. Vitek Vanecek was moved to the injury...
