Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald says Travis Green is part of his search for a new coach General manager Tom Fitzgerald is looking for a new coach for the New Jersey Devils and interim skipper Travis Green remains in the running for the job 19 HOURS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS Luke Hughes - Strong stretch run in rookie year Hughes finished his rookie season with nine goals and 47 points while dressing for all 82 games.Impact Hughes showed off his puck-moving skills on the power play, notching 25 points on the man advantage. Similar to his brothers Quinn and Jack (shoulder), Luke is highly skilled but undersized. The 184-pound blueliner was bullied in the defensive zone to the tune of a minus-25 rating, but fantasy managers will be willing to overlook those shortcomings from the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, especially if Hughes proves capable of sustaining his point-per-game pace from the last 14 games over a longer stretch. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Ondrej Palat - Another down year in NJ Palat finished the 2023-24 season with 11 goals and 31 points in 71 appearances.Impact Palat parlayed his strong play in Tampa Bay into a five-year, $30 million contract with the Devils in the 2022 offseason, but it's becoming more and more apparent that he was carried by playing alongside stars such as Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point in Tampa Bay. After nine consecutive seasons with at least 34 points for the Lightning, Palat has produced meager totals of 23 and 31 points in his first two years in New Jersey. At age 33, Palat's more likely to go down than up next year. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Dawson Mercer - Slumps in Year 3 Mercer finished the 2023-24 season with 20 goals and 33 points in 82 games.Impact Mercer's sophom*ore slump came a year late, as he finished with the lowest point total of his three-year career. The 2020 first-round draft pick also had a career-worst minus-26 rating, and he posted his lowest shot total (134) despite seeing a career high in average ice time (17:13). On the bright side, Mercer still hasn't missed a game in his NHL career, and he'll be a bounce-back candidate next season after posting point totals of 42 and 56 in his first two campaigns. Mercer will be a restricted free agent this offseason after the expiration of his entry-level contract. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Nico Hischier - Takes step back with 67-point year Hischier provided an assist in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders, wrapping up the 2023-24 season with 27 goals and 67 points in 71 appearances.Impact Hischier posted his second-highest point total and appeared in the third-most games of his seven-year career, but this season has to be viewed as a disappointment on the heels of his 80-point output in 2022-23. The first overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft also took a significant step back defensively, with his rating dropping from plus-33 last season to minus-5 as the Devils missed the postseason in 2023-24. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Erik Haula - Finishes with 35 points Haula ended the 2023-24 season with 16 goals, 35 points and 155 shots on goal in 76 appearances.Impact Haula also set a career high with 54 PIM, and his minus-1 rating was his worst since a minus-16 mark with the Golden Knights in 2017-18. Ironically, that season in Vegas was Haula's most productive from an offensive standpoint (29 goals and 55 points), but he didn't provide nearly enough offense in 2023-24 to help counterbalance New Jersey's teamwide defensive struggles as the Devils fell short of the postseason. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Jesper Bratt - No playoffs despite career year Bratt had an assist in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders, finishing the season with 27 goals and a career-high 83 points.Impact Bratt took another step forward after consecutive 73-point campaigns, but the team around him took a step back, as the Devils missed the playoffs after winning a round in the postseason the previous year. The 25-year-old Swede signed an eight-year, $63 million extension last June, so Bratt's locked in as a key piece of New Jersey's core for the foreseeable future. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Timo Meier - Lone marker in finale Meier scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.Impact Meier got the Devils on the board early in the second period, knocking home a rebound off Semyon Varlamov to cut the Islanders' lead to 2-1. The 27-year-old winger finished the year strong, tallying nine goals and 16 points in his last 14 games. However, it was a disappointing campaign overall for Meier -- he'll finish with 28 goals and 52 points after surpassing the 60-point threshold in each of his previous two seasons. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Shane Bowers - Sent down to minors Bowers was reassigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.Impact Bowers played eight games with the big club this year, registering seven shots on goal and three hits. The 24-year-old has played 40 games with Utica, logging nine goals and four assists. He will finish his season in the minors, as Utica has three regular-season games left. 3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Graeme Clarke - Sent back to minors Clarke was demoted to AHL Utica on Tuesday.Impact Clarke saw action in just three NHL games this season in which he recorded two shots, six hits and two PIM while averaging 11:23 of ice time. The 22-year-old winger will return to the minors to suit up for the Comets, who are long shots to secure a place in the Calder Cup playoffs. In his previous time with the minor-league club, the Minnesota native notched 24 goals and 23 assists in 64 contests. He'll hope to bring that offensive upside to training camp in the fall to make the Opening Night roster. 3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Jake Allen - Struggles Monday Allen allowed four goals on 19 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.Impact Allen surrendered a pair of tallies in the first period before allowing a goal apiece in each of the final two frames en route to the defeat in New Jersey's season finale. The 33-year-old Allen will wrap up the campaign with a 12-18-4 record, an .895 save percentage and 3.44 GAA across 33 starts between the Devils and Canadiens. 3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Tomas Nosek - Limited in season finale Nosek managed just one shot and a minus-two rating in Monday's season finale against the Islanders.Impact Nosek returned from an undisclosed injury to play in the 82nd campaign of the year. Injuries limited the 31-year-old winger to just 36 games this season in which he notched two goals on 38 shots, four assists and 33 hits. The Czech native will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason but may not have stayed healthy enough to convince the Devils to keep him around for another year. 3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Tomas Nosek - Set to return Monday Nosek (undisclosed) is poised to suit up for the season finale against the Islanders on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.Impact Nosek will rejoin the lineup after missing the previous two outings due to his undisclosed injury. It will be the 31-year-old winger's last chance to end an eight-game goal drought during which he managed just 11 shots while notching a pair of helpers. With Nosek returning to action, either Graeme Clarke or Kurtis MacDermid will be relegated to the press box. 4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Jake Allen - Set to face Islanders Allen will patrol the home crease Monday versus the Islanders, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.Impact Allen is coming off a 27-save effort in Thursday's 6-5 win over Toronto. He has a 12-17-4 record this season with a 3.43 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 33 appearances between New Jersey and Montreal. The Islanders rank 23rd in the league this campaign with 2.95 goals per contest. 4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE A Manic Monday in the NHL features 7 of 8 games that could affect the playoff picture The playoff races across the NHL are coming down to the final week of the regular season 4 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS New York visits New Jersey after Nelson's 2-goal game The New York Islanders visit the New Jersey Devils after Brock Nelson scored two goals in the Islanders' 3-2 shootout loss to the New York Rangers 5 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
