The New Jersey Devils began their life as the Kansas City Scouts, which started playing in 1974-75. After two seasons in Kansas City, the franchise relocated to Denver and became the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies struggled and only made the postseason one time before once again relocating, this time to New Jersey where they remain today. The team has been much more successful in New Jersey and has made the playoffs 24 times since moving. Those postseason appearances include three Stanley Cups, all of which were won in a period of nine seasons—1995, 2000, and 2003. This period was headlined by elite goaltending from Martin Brodeur and the neutral zone trap, a strategy that became synonymous with the Devils. Along with those three Stanley Cups, the Devils reached the Stanley Cup Final on two more occasions—2001 and 2012.

Devils’ Scott Stevens – Dirty or Tough?
|

* originally published in Jan. 2018 Scott Stevens can be considered one of the last of a breed of NHLer that wreaked havoc on other players. During a time when checks were seemingly more vicious than in today’s game, Stevens threw his share of hits that rattled opposing players; some were injured, some were just angry, but there was never a doubt that Stevens played a hard, physical game. But, was that hard, physical game considered “dirty” when it came to his hit on Eric Lindros? For 22 seasons, Stevens played that type of game and helped the New Jersey Devils…

Devils’ 3-4-1 Metro Record Underscores an Urgent Need to Respond
|

Entering December, the New Jersey Devils find themselves at a pivotal crossroads of their season, one defined not by talent or potential but by their inability to assert themselves within the Metropolitan Division. Monday night’s loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets dropped New Jersey to a concerning 3-4-1 record against divisional opponents. And while that number may not look catastrophic at first glance, the details tell a more troubling story. Only one of those three wins came in regulation, all the way back on Oct. 13, also against Columbus. Their other two victories required shootouts to edge past the Pittsburgh…
