11 months agoNew Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier is set to undergo shoulder surgery on Tuesday but is expected to be ready for training camp ahead of next season. The power forward said he also dealt with a double MCL issue and oblique injuries in what amounted to a down offensive season despite leading New Jersey in goal-scoring. Meier tallied 28 goals and 52 points on 207 shots on goal this season after recording 40 goals and 66 points on a hefty 327 shots on goal across 78 games last season. Fellow Devils forward Jack Hughes has also undergone shoulder surgery while he too expects to be ready for next season.

12 months agoNew Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier said he dealt with a double MCL injury in his knee early in the season while also suffering from an oblique injury later in the year. Perhaps the ailments are an explanation for a down offensive season for the 27-year-old whose production took a significant decline this season. Meier tallied 40 goals and 66 points on a hefty 327 shots on goal across 78 games between the Sharks and Devils last season but fell to 28 goals and 52 points on 207 shots on goal across 69 games this season, his first full season with the Devils. New Jersey finished 10 points back of the Washington Capitals for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

1 year agoNew Jersey Devils forwards Timo Meier and Dawson Mercer each scored a pair of goals as the Devils beat the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins by a 5-2 score on Tuesday. Mercer opened the scoring with his 18th just 5:35 into the opening frame before Meier restored a lead with his 20th late in the second period. Mercer added his 19th 9:14 into the third period followed by Meier's 21st with just over three minutes remaining. Both of Meier's tallies came on the power play. With the win, the Devils improved to 33-32-4 on the season, good for sixth in the Metropolitan Division and six points back of the Detroit Red Wings for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

1 year agoNew Jersey Devils winger Timo Meier recorded his fifth career hat trick and posted an assist as the team picked up a comfortable 4-1 win over St. Louis on Thursday. The Swiss star started the scoring with a power-play tally and potted all of New Jersey's first three goals before Erik Haula iced the game with an empty-netter in the final minute that gave Meier his 16th assist of the season. Meier has now scored in four consecutive games and boasts a five-game point streak, but it's surely too little too late. He's had a disappointing campaign overall, and the team has also been awful for most of the year. In 50 games, Meier has contributed only 17 goals and 16 assists. Nine of his 33 points have come during Meier's current scoring streak.
