Devils Need to Find Solution to Goaltending Troubles
December 9th, 2019 Goaltending is the most valuable position in hockey, just like a quarterback is in the NFL. If a team can't find a player who can perform at either position, they're going to have some problems. And that's the dilemma facing the New Jersey Devils' goaltending, as their .882 save percentage (SV%) ranks third-worst in the...
5 Options for Devils to Replace Hynes
December 5th, 2019 The John Hynes era came to an end on Tuesday afternoon, as the New Jersey Devils fired their head coach after a 9-13-4 start to the season.

Coming off a 6-4 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Thanksgiving, the Devils were shutout by the New York Rangers in a Saturday matinee. And how they ended up losing by a score of 4-0 could be...
Devils at the Quarter Mark: Little Margin for Error
November 27th, 2019 The New Jersey Devils haven't gotten off to the start they've wanted or expected. Through their first 23 games, they have an 8-11-4 record, which puts them at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division. That's not where many people — including myself — predicted this team would be, especially after an offseason that...
