Flyers Fall to Devils in Overtime, Extending Winless Start to Two Games

The Philadelphia Flyers lost their second consecutive game, falling 3-2 in overtime to the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center on October 1, 2026. Despite being outshot 41-22, the Flyers took early leads but could not hold them. New Jersey’s Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal in overtime. The Flyers’ record is now 0-1-1, mirroring their start in Rick Tocchet’s first season as head coach. Joseph Woll made 41 saves in his debut, but the skaters struggled with possession and execution.

Devils Bet Evangelista Can Elevate the Top Six Amid a Crowded Forward Group

Devils Bet Evangelista Can Elevate the Top Six Amid a Crowded Forward Group

New Jersey Devils acquire Luke Evangelista from Nashville, adding to a crowded forward group and prompting questions about roster balance and potential exits (e.g., Nick Bjugstad, Stefan Noesen). Evangelista is viewed as a possible top-six contributor with strong defense and playmaking, which could impact Dawson Mercer’s role and future as a trade chip. The piece argues the Devils should consider a multi-year extension for Evangelista now (roughly 3–4 years) to lock in his prime, rather than waiting until restricted free agency, using recent RFAs’ contracts as benchmarks.

Devils urged to lock Evangelista into an eight-year deal after trade

After trading for Luke Evangelista from Nashville (for a first- and second-round pick), New Jersey faces a forward logjam but Evangelista has only one year left on his deal. The piece argues the Devils should pursue an eight-year extension at about $6 million per season before Sept. 15, when new CBA rules would cap extensions at seven years, to lock in the rising forward while he’s affordable and before the landscape changes.

Devils land Evangelista from Predators in two-pick deal

Luke Evangelista was traded from the Nashville Predators to the New Jersey Devils for a conditional first-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick. The 24-year-old forward, who had a career-high 56 points last season, is on a two-year, $6 million contract and could hit restricted free agent status after this season. The Predators gain two more high picks to bolster their future, while New Jersey adds a young, productive winger.

Devils' Rising Five: Prospects to Watch in 2026-27

NHL.com names the New Jersey Devils’ five top prospects for 2026-27: Anton Silayev (D) is a 6-foot-7 shutdown defender from the KHL who’s expected to push for an NHL job after signing with New Jersey; Alexander Command (F) is a versatile Swedish forward projected as a middle-six center; Lenni Hameenaho (F) is a smart, patient forward who contributed at both the NHL and AHL levels and could be in line for more responsibility this season; Seamus Casey (D) is a mobile right-shot defenseman returning from injury who could earn a roster spot out of training camp; and Mikhail Yegorov (G) is a tall, high-IQ goaltender in college whose pro debut is projected for 2028-29.

Devils Pass on Shane Wright After Hayton Offer Is Matched

Devils Pass on Shane Wright After Hayton Offer Is Matched

Barrett Hayton’s one-year offer sheet from New Jersey was matched by the Utah Mammoth, keeping him with the team; while Shane Wright of Seattle was floated as a potential target, his metrics are mixed—strong defensive impact but underwhelming offense—making him a poor fit for Sunny Mehta’s puck-centric Devils, so they’re likely to avoid Wright.

Devils Pivot: Pursuing a Top-Six Upgrade After Hayton Offer Is Matched

The Utah Mammoth matched Barrett Hayton's one-year, $4.775 million offer sheet, keeping Hayton and blocking a Devils trade for at least a year. New Jersey now has about $9.6 million in cap space and six first-round picks over the next four drafts to pursue a top-six forward, either via trade or a one-year free-agent deal. Target options discussed include Pavel Zacha (former Devil, UF A after this season, around $4.75M), Tomas Hertl (big cap hit with potential retention), and Anthony Mantha (6’5” winger with scoring ability).

Panthers pivot net: Markstrom trade signals shift after Bobrovsky era

Florida Panthers acquire goalie Jacob Markstrom and forward Angus Crookshank from the New Jersey Devils for Evan Rodrigues, Jesper Boqvist, and Ben Steeves, a deal tied to Sergei Bobrovsky’s looming departure and aimed at a cap-friendly, competitive goaltending tandem with Akira Schmid. The move gives New Jersey cap relief and depth with Rodrigues and Boqvist as it pursues a broader retool. Analysts grade Panthers a B and Devils a B+, noting Markstrom’s age and recent form as risk but potential upside and a prudent, market-efficient reshaping of two rosters.

Devils Grab Finnish Playmaker Matias Vanhanen at 37th Overall

New Jersey used its 35th pick to trade for 37th and 119th, selecting Matias Vanhanen of Finland from the Everett Silvertips (WHL) at 37. He posted 21 goals and 66 assists (6 PIM) in the WHL season, with 12 goals and 12 assists in the playoffs, and had six assists in seven World Juniors games. Described as a fast, transition-based playmaker with strong vision who excels at finding teammates and going to the net, his shot is viewed as a weakness and he may need to add size and refine his defensive game. The Devils see him as a potential third-line playmaker who could develop alongside Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes, possibly with a future NCAA move to aid his development.

Devils nab Swedish two-way center Alexander Command at No. 12

The New Jersey Devils selected Alexander Command with the 12th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, a 6'1" 187-pound Swedish two-way center from Örebro HK U20 known for a high motor, strong defensive play, and scoring potential. Analysts compare him to Nico Hischier and see him as a long-term fit behind Hischier and Jack Hughes, offering forechecking, physicality, and two-way versatility that could push him into a third-line center role as he develops.

Devils Acquire Morin, Two Conditional Firsts in Nemec-Tsyplakov Deal

The New Jersey Devils traded defenseman Simon Nemec and forward Maxim Tsyplakov to Calgary for defenseman Etienne Morin, two conditional first-round picks, and a 2026 second-round pick. The first-round picks depend on Calgary acquiring certain picks from Vegas (2027/2028) and Colorado (2028/2029). Morin, 21, spent last season in Calgary’s minor-league system, while Nemec was the Devils’ 2022 No. 2 overall pick and Tsyplakov joined from the Islanders in January 2026.
