New Jersey Devils Lost Again Thanks to Damon Severson's Mistake? (Ft. Damon Severson, Erik Haula, & Lindy Ruff)

December 16, 2022 11:15 - 30 minutes - 24.8 MB

The New Jersey Devils are now on a four-game losing streak and lost a tough battle against the Philadelphia Flyers. Carter Hart just had one of those games in which he was able to make 48 saves. The game was tied 1-1 for most of the night. However, Damon Severson made a costly turnover that gave the Flyers the lead late in the third period. Severson and Lindy Ruff spoke on the blunder and had two different perspectives on the matter. Subscribe to Locked On Devils! Follow me on Twitter: @tr...

Mackenzie Blackwood Struggled During His Rehab Game With The Utica Comets...Should The New Jersey Devils Waive Him?

December 15, 2022 11:15 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MB

Mackenzie Blackwood has returned to in-game action and is currently rehabbing with the Utica Comets, however, it didn't exactly go well. He allowed four goals, and he's playing against lesser competition compared to the NHL. With Akira Schmid doing so well, it makes people wonder what his future looks like with the New Jersey Devils organization going forward. Also, let's remain positive in regard to the Devils' successful season so far. Subscribe to Locked On Devils! Follow me on Twitter:...

New Jersey Devils Are Currently on a Three Game Losing Streak Despite Lineup Changes (Ft. Lindy Ruff, Akira Schmid, Tomas Tatar, & Erik Haula)

December 14, 2022 11:15 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

The New Jersey Devils have dropped their third game in a row. They lost to the Dallas Stars 4-1 and some unfortunate circumstances didn't help their chances either. Lindy Ruff decided to make some changes to the lineup and it was somewhat effective. I had the chance to speak with Akira Schmid, Erik Haula, and Tomas Tatar postgame to gather their thoughts on the team so far and how they rebound going forward. Subscribe to Locked On Devils!

New Jersey Devils Have Lost Two in a Row & Are Slumping...Blew a 3-1 Lead to The New York Rangers

December 13, 2022 11:15 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MB

Even though it's nothing drastic, the New Jersey Devils are in a little slump. They blew a 3-1 lead to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Jack Hughes was once again the leader for the Devils, however, the Devils' defense and fourth line didn't contribute much. Their worst is still better than most teams' best.

Analyzing The New Jersey Devils' 6-4 Loss Against The New York Islanders (Ft. Nico Hischier, Lindy Ruff, & Ryan Graves)

December 10, 2022 11:15 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MB

Despite the New Jersey Devils losing 6-4 to the New York Islanders, I still had a great experience at the Prudential Center. I got to cover the game as a credentialed media member. As a result, I had the pleasure of getting a statement from Nico Hischier, Lindy Ruff, and Ryan Graves postgame. Watching the game from the press box was a unique perspective.

After yesterday's episode, I decided to do a follow-up discussion in regard to trade discussions (or "silly season" as I like to call it).

Patrick Kane to The New Jersey Devils?...Definitely a Possible Target at The Trade Deadline

December 08, 2022 11:15 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

The Chicago Blackhawks are obviously in the midst of a rebuild. It might not be an easy decision, but it's looking like their longtime franchise player Patrick Kane might waive his no-movement clause when the trade deadline approaches in March. Kane is one of the best American players to ever play the game. He's going to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. This might be a golden opportunity for the New Jersey Devils to pursue him. Subscribe to Locked On Devils! Follow me on Twit...

What Will Happen to Mackenzie Blackwood?; How Can The New Jersey Devils Replace Nathan Bastian?

December 06, 2022 11:15 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

The New Jersey Devils will have a tough decision to make once Mackenzie Blackwood returns from injury. Because Vitek Vanecek has been playing like a Vezina-caliber goalie, while Akira Schmid has been surprising a lot of people as well. Nathan Bastian is set to miss a decent amount of time due to a shoulder injury. Replacing his services might be easier said than done. Subscribe to Locked On Devils!

The New Jersey Devils are once again on a winning streak. Even though it's modest three games, it definitely shows their fight back. A great amount of Devils fans were also able to take over Madison Square Garden in addition to the players.
