Marcus Johansson Practices, Unlikely to Play Game 1

Nico Hischier Continues To Produce For Devils
New Jersey Devils forward Nico Hischier has five goals and eight points in his last nine games. The first overall pick of 2017 has spent much of his time recently centering should-be Hart candidate Taylor Hall at even strength, and one of Kyle Palmieri or Jesper Bratt on the right wing. Despite being held pointless […]
Devils Roll With Keith Kinkaid Versus Hurricanes
New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid will make his third straight start against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.

Sami Vatanen on a Roll
New Jersey Devils defenseman Sami Vatanen has been on an absolute tear as of late.
