Bratt Following Footsteps of Swedish Legend
February 6th, 2018 “I saw a few highlights of him playing in Sweden. He’s an interesting story - he didn’t play in the Swedish Elite League, he played in the second league with AIK and had a really good year. He got the chance over here and I’m happy that they give players like that a chance - he’s not the biggest guy but he has tons of speed and...
Hall & Hischier: a Devilish Dynamic Duo
December 14th, 2017 Think of all of the instances in recent memory where an NHL team has had two no. 1 overall picks in their lineup.

October 30th, 2017 In his first season with the New Jersey Devils Taylor Hall was expected to be a savior for a franchise that had missed the playoffs for four straight seasons, as he easily became their most explosive weapon since the departures in consecutive summers of Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise. But he couldn’t do it all himself, and more often...
Devils 3 Stars: Opening Week
October 17th, 2017 It was an incredibly successful first week of the season for the New Jersey Devils. They went 4-1-0 and are atop the Metropolitan Division with eight points. Who would have guessed they would be ahead of teams like the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colombus Blue Jackets a week into the season? Obviously, it's a small sample size, but the...
