Bernier’s return and Bratt’s penalty shot propel Devils to win in Pittsburgh

End of Devils’ homestand flames out
The last thing I wanted to do after getting back from this game – mercifully early because of the utter trash effort this team put on the ice for the first two periods – is write about this game tonight. … Continue reading

Devils grind their way to 2-0 despite Hughes’ injury
Normally a second home game of the season can be a sleepy affair, especially when it’s between interconference teams (and ones that have never met before last night at that). Last night’s 4-2 win over the Kraken was anything but … Continue reading

Devils 2021-22 season preview
Tonight marks the beginning of another NHL season, sure doesn’t feel that way as a Devils fan though – given that we have to wait another three whole days for our opener. At least three days gives us a little … Continue reading

Holtz scored another goal while Mercer had a primary assist. https://twitter.com/NJDevils/status/1445172795814694914?t=-U8o9nacMCT37hyqJPIuMA&s=19 The Holtz … Continue reading
