The New Jersey Devils made a big splash in October when they landed the 2025 Hart Trophy-winning goalie Connor Hellebuyck in a blockbuster trade with the Winnipeg Jets to end the goalie’s holdout after requesting a trade during the offseason.
The New Jersey Devils are beginning to show all the makings of a winning team, kicking off the season with a 9-5-0 record. All four lines are hard at work, their defense has shown major improvement, and the addition of Connor Hellebuyck has only raised the team’s confidence.

Can you name every winner of the Hart Trophy, which honors the most valuable player in the NHL, since 1983?
The New Jersey Devils made a shocking move right before the season began. With teams cutting final rosters to get under the salary cap and making things work with their 23-player max, teams have to cut players they’d really like to keep.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
The New Jersey Devils certainly had an eventful start to the 2026-27 season. After going 9-5-0 throughout October, they’ll look to keep up their high-octane scoring, stellar defense, and elite goaltending.
The Washington Capitals have acquired some goaltending depth from a division rival. According to a team announcement, the Capitals have acquired netminder Rémi Poirier from the New Jersey Devils for a 2027 seventh-round pick.

People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The New Jersey Devils had a problem to start the year. While goaltending seemed to be a problem, the defense was truly hurting them. There were too many mistakes, and they didn’t have the goaltending to overcome.
One problem that has plagued the Devils for quite some time -- perhaps even more so than goaltending in recent seasons -- is finishing. Year after year, New Jersey seems to find itself at or near the bottom of the league in terms of converting their chances into actual goals, consistently underproducing their expected goal (xG) totals.
Connor Hellebuyck is, arguably, the best goalie on the planet. Statistically speaking, no goaltender has produced a better goals saved above expected (GSAx) in the analytics era (2007-present), and no current goaltender has been as consistently excellent as he has been over the years.
The Devils shocked the hockey world when they traded for superstar goaltender Connor Hellebuyck a little more than a week ago. The deal, which sent Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad, and a pair of picks to the Winnipeg Jets, brought the best goaltender the Devils have had since Martin Brodeur to the organization.

Arseny Gritsyuk and Jack Hughes each scored a pair of goals Friday as the New Jersey Devils beat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-2 in Las Vegas. Luke Hughes also scored for the Devils, who went 2-1-0 on a three-game Western Conference road trip and have won five of six overall (5-1-0).
So much for the New Jersey Devils' four-game winning streak.
There is one subplot to this season that is no doubt creating some anxiety for the team and its fans. It is the future of superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes.
A wild conspiracy theory that started this offseason has picked up steam, given how the last couple of weeks have unfolded in the NHL. The theory that
The Devils were able to prosper in Hellebuyck's sparkling debut, and if they can continue to limit the opposition and stand tall offensively with him in net, they have a good chance to win the Metropolitan Division.
