New Jersey Devils Team Record, Trades, Team Analysis and NHL Prediction
The New Jersey Devils hit the ice this season with a fresh fire, driven to bounce back and claim the Stanley Cup, led by rising star Jack Hughes. With a dynamic lineup and the promise of a future dynasty, they’re poised to make a serious run for hockey’s ultimate prize. Follow the latest New Jersey Devils records, stats, and odds as they chase victory immortality.
New Jersey Devils Record – Last Season Recap
The 2023-24 season was a write-off for New Jersey. Injuries plagued the team and as reflected by the New Jersey Devils standings, they underachieved significantly. New Jersey did not come close to matching its 2022-23 season record or its projected point total.
Final 2023-24 Record:
The New Jersey Devils’ odds mainly went ‘under’ as the team merely won 38 games and finished with 81 points. The latter is 31 points fewer than 2022-23. The preseason point projection was 105.5.
Top Performers:
Jack Hughes was limited to 62 games but still managed 74 points. Winger Jesper Bratt led the team with 83 points. Six players finished with 20+ goals, which include Hughes, Bratt, and former first-overall pick Nico Hischier.
New Jersey Devils Trades (Additions and Subtractions)
The New Jersey Devils traded goaltender Akira Schmid to Vegas for Paul Cotter, which is the most significant deal the team made. It focuses on how NJ is reshaping its defense in the offseason.
Key Departures:
- F Alexander Holtz
- D John Marino
- D Brendan Smith
- D Kevin Bahl
- G Akira Schmid
Key Additions:
- F Tomas Tatar
- F Paul Cotter
- F Stefan Noesen
- D Brett Pesce
- D Brenden Dillon
- D Johnathan Kovacevic
- G Jacob Markstrom
New Jersey was awful on defense last season, mainly how the team flunked the NHL lines outside of injuries. The Devils gave up the sixth-most goals, so it rolls into 2024-25 with reinforcements on defense and a new goalie.
Devils Prediction for the 2024-25 NHL Season
The New Jersey Devils predictions for 2024-25 are as bullish as they were in 2023-24. New Jersey is heavily expected to bounce back with a 102.5-point projection by the sportsbook.
Regular Season Wins Prediction
The NHL odds’ 102.5 points prediction for New Jersey places it atop the Eastern Conference with the defending Stanley Cup champions, Florida. This is a lofty pick given all the changes in Newark.
Playoff Chances
The Devils’s NHL playoff odds are awfully short. New Jersey should return to the postseason. Failing to do so classifies as a major disaster given all the offseason acquisitions.
Key Players to Watch
Jacob Markstrom will be scrutinized as the All-Star goaltender. But other acquisitions worth watching are on defense: Brett Pesce and Brendan Dillon. New Jersey was one of the worst defensive teams in 2023-24. Pesce and Dillon are strong veteran D-men who should fix the blue line.
Coaching Analysis
Sheldon Keefe knows all about being in high-pressure situations as the former head coach of Toronto. And while he’s mainly known for his playoff shortcomings, his .665-point percentage ranks third among active HCs.
