Saturday’s win was a big rebound for the New Jersey Devils. The Minnesota Wild are a heavy team that can grind you. They might have been missing their star in Kirill Kaprizov, but it’s not like the Devils can’t say the same about their injury list.
Nico Hischier willed the Devils to that victory. He led the charge, and reached new heights in his career.
Elsewhere, Chicago gets a pair of studs, more Philly fallout, and should the Blueshirts fire their head coach?
Let’s do that hockey.

Ryan Parent on #NJDevils prospect Ethan Edwards’ pro debut: He’s a really quiet, confident guy. He carries himself well. …
He had a good game. He moves his feet well. He’s physical. Definitely no hesitation which is good to see. https://t.co/TtqGvYyn3j— Ben Birnell (@BB_URSentinel) March 30, 2025
