The New Jersey Devils are gearing up for a new season after missing the playoffs for the 10th time in 12 years. With Sheldon Keefe as the new head coach, the team hopes to turn things around following a disappointing last season.

Key additions include goaltender Jacob Markstrom and defenseman Brett Pesce, while the team aims to improve its defensive struggles that saw them rank near the bottom in goals allowed. The Devils boast a talented roster with players like Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier, but injuries and toughness remain concerns.
