Nick Lappin: Developing Devil
December 18th, 2017 After spending more than half of last season (43 games) with the New Jersey Devils you couldn’t blame Nick Lappin if he was supremely disappointed when he was one of the final roster cuts before the NHL season started and began the 2017-18 season in the AHL with the Binghamton Devils.

Albany Devils February Review
February 27th, 2017 In February the Albany Devils experienced the ebbs and flows of the grind of an American Hockey League season.
