Today’s Hockey Highlights: A Challenging Year for the Devils
In a thrilling matchup on Thursday, former New Jersey Devils players Kevin Bahl and Yegor Sharangovich made headlines by contributing goals in the Calgary Flames’ narrow 5-4 victory. The New Jersey Devils, however, have found themselves in a tough spot this season.
Challenges Facing the Devils
They are facing significant challenges, which many attribute to the roster decisions made by general manager Tom Fitzgerald. While some finger-pointing also goes toward head coach Sheldon Keefe—who has altered the team’s strategy post-Olympics—the current outlook for the Devils is bleak.
Looking Ahead
With just 18 games left, playoff hopes appear almost nonexistent. Still, there is a desire to see the team build some momentum as they approach the offseason and prepare for the 2026-27 season.
