Dougie Hamilton is now on LTIR, Tom Fitzgerald got a new contract extension, and the New Jersey Devils are off next week. The NHL Trade Deadline is approaching on March 8. Trades are absolutely in mind. This post ranks 25 Devils players based on perceived trade value to identify who may get a big return and who may not.

Longtime New Jersey Devil player and coach Sergei Brylin was honored as the second ever inductee into the team’s Ring of Honor. The New Jersey Devils proceeded to get dominated by the Dallas Stars in a disgraceful 2-6 loss. This recap covers a game where the Devils stunk it up.

In the fifteenth weekly Metropolitan Division snapshot of the season, the Philadelphia Flyers were the only team to win their week, the New York Islanders changed coaches after a winless road trip, and the bottom half of the division remains a fight for playoff spots currently owned by the Atlantic Division. All this and more in this week’s snapshot.

Vitek Vanecek let in the first shot but played an excellent game after, stopping 28 of 29.

Alexander Holtz is seemingly blossoming with the New Jersey Devils with 11 goals and 21 points. Head coach Lindy Ruff continues to keep Holtz as a bottom six player and told a beat reporter that he does not watch the game very well when asked about Holtz’s usage. This post argues that Holtz has done well and Ruff won’t agree to that at the risk of being wrong about the player.

Despite coming from behind to tie the game at two in the third period, the Devils allowed the game to slip away from them during one small play that cost them everything. They could’ve—even should’ve—won tonight. Instead, they handed the game to the Canadiens on a silver platter.

With the Devils plagued by the injury bug, the Comets have also had to expand their lineup to let in some new faces to replace those called up to New Jersey. This post updates on everything Utica.

The Bruins overcome a good performance by New Jersey goalie Nico Daws to beat the Devils, 3-0.

Hopefully Tkachuk won't go after the captain tonight.

20 shots against, yet Vitek still gave up four goals.
