New Jersey's X-Factors
August 27th, 2016 Every team has an x-factor; something that has to go right in order to have a successful season. It could be a player stepping up or even something as basic as having a favorable schedule. However, success in the NHL is measured by a team’s ability to push for the Stanley Cup.

Blake Coleman: A Vet at Devils Development Camp
August 4th, 2016 Blake Coleman is one of the New Jersey Devils’ oldest prospects, at the ripe old age of 24, but he will be entering just his second pro season in 2016-17. Drafted in the third round of the 2011 NHL Draft, last season was cut short by a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the majority of the season with the Albany Devils in the AHL....
Albany Devils Set Tone For New Jersey's Future
May 20th, 2016 Perhaps the only disappointment with the Albany Devils season is that it ended too early.

With all due respect to the Hershey Bears and their fine Atlantic Division winning campaign, the A-Devils and Toronto Marlies should have...

New Jersey's Youthful Outlook
March 18th, 2016 One positive to come out of the New Jersey Devils’ 2015-16 regular season has been the obvious improvement in some of the team’s young players. It was well-known that this would be the year that some of the team's prospects would finally have a genuine opportunity to play more consistently with the big club. It has not been a...
Devils Looking for Luck in Return Home
March 17th, 2016 Hobby’s Deli, located just across the street from the Prudential Center, has many recommended items by its regulars, but its ‘corned beef’ will be the most popular from the hockey-goers attending Thursday night’s home game against the Minnesota Wild. Though it’ll take more than festive cuisine for New Jersey to rebound from its...
Devils Surprising Some, Winning as a Balanced Team
February 4th, 2016 The New Jersey Devils have been victorious in 15, one-goal games this season (15-7-5 overall in those games) and a large part of that is because they have an elite NHL goalie in Cory Schneider. Another part of that equation has been that they are winning as a team, with no real superstar talent among their lineup. Nothing new for this...

January 21st, 2016 The Albany Devils are making progress and making noise in the American Hockey League's Eastern Conference. At the midway point, the A-Devils stand at 23-9-6-0 (52 points), good enough for second place in the North Division and third in the conference.

Back to School with Nick Leddy of the New York Islanders
January 19th, 2015 Last season 31% (305) of all the players in the NHL played at least one year of college hockey, the highest number ever. That number will continue to grow as the NCAA continues to be a solid route for players hoping to realize their dream of playing in the National Hockey League. Whether or not they play all four years in college or only...
Merrill and Helgeson: The Devils Odd Couple
January 13th, 2015 No one will ever confuse Jon Merrill and Seth Helgeson of the New Jersey Devils for Felix Unger and Oscar Madison (stars of The Odd Couple) but the two are good friends despite being quite different in so many ways. Both defensemen are just beginning their NHL careers and hopefully for the Devils and their fans the two American kids are...
