Down on the farm: Utica’s 10-0 start showcasing some of the Devils’ future

Most of the time, it’s hard for me to really get invested in the Devils’ minor league team considering games are not easily accessible on or offline without paying an additional streaming package. And seeing as I don’t even watch … Continue reading

Senators’ COVID outbreak postpones its next three games, including two with local teams

Devils call up Holtz after costly trip to Anaheim

No treat for Devils fans against Columbus

In our post-relevant era, few teams have given us more fits than the Columbus Blue Jackets, who we’ve gone just 5-14-1 against since the end of the 2014-15 season. Of course we haven’t played the Blue Jackets in nearly twenty … Continue reading
