Devils’ Luke Hughes Can Become Team’s Cornerstone Defenseman
August 1, 2024 by Donnah Campbell
From the moment Luke Hughes joined the New Jersey Devils at the end of the 2022-23 season, it was clear his elite skills would be a valuable addition to the team. With an overtime goal that sent the Devils to the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the youngest Hughes immediately made a name for himself in the NHL. He had a phenomenal rookie season in 2023-24, where he played in all 82 games. Whether he’s scoring coast to coast or being nominated for the Calder Memorial Trophy, Hughes has lived up to franchise expectations, and there is no doubt he will remain a part of the Devils organization for years to come.

Devils Must Reverse Trend of Mixing Up Lines in 2024-25
July 29, 2024 by Daniel Amoia
The list of issues that caused the demise of the 2023-24 New Jersey Devils is rather extensive. Lackluster goaltending, shoddy defense, injuries…that’s just the start. But one element certainly didn’t aid their case, and that’s an inability to consistently stick to forward line combinations.
