2022-23 NHL TEAM PREVIEW: New Jersey Devils Is this finally the year Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier and the NJDevils start making noise in the Metro Division? After a few noteworthy lineup upgrades, MLarkinHockey sees reason for cautious optimism:
in that same stat? Blackwood. It’s hard to believe he was being talked up as a candidate for a Canadian Olympic roster spot just a year ago. His star has fallen significantly. But if he can find a way to stay healthy this season, maybe he gets back into a rhythm and begins to flash the star-caliber upside he showed a couple years back. For now, he’s likely the 1B who will have to outplay Vanecek to earn a larger piece of the pie.
It remains to be seen if the Devils have even league-average goaltending for 2022-23, but if they can get anything close to that, they could improve significantly in the standings.Lindy Ruff enters his third season behind the Devils’ bench still looking for his first playoff berth with the team. He’s one of the most experienced coaches in NHL history, tied with Al Arbour for fifth on the all-time wins list at 782.
Brunette in particular would be ready to step in as head coach on the spot given his recent experience helming a Presidents’ Trophy-winning club for most of last season. He should at least help improve New Jersey’s woeful power play.Mercer broke through last season and the Devils might get a big contribution from another rookie forward this season. Alexander Holtz, drafted seventh overall in 2020, has the skill set they need most.
