Well, things aren’t looking too pretty for the New Jersey Devils right now. March 4th was another rough night for the squad, and let’s just say it ended in heartbreak. With just five seconds left on the clock in the third period, Thomas Harley fired off a wrist shot from the top of the left face-off circle, slipping it past the defense with a little help from Mikael Granlund’s perfect screen. Boom—game over. The Dallas Stars snatched a 4-3 win right at the buzzer, leaving the Devils stunned at the American Airlines Center.
And get this—this was only their third game in March, and they’ve already racked up two losses. Yeah… not exactly the start they were hoping for this month. But if you thought the L itself was the biggest issue, think again- that real storm cloud hanging over Devils fans? Jack Hughes remains on the sidelines, and the bad luck just keeps piling up. The frustration is real, the worries are loud, and at this rate, the New Jersey Devils need a miracle (or at least a serious change of fortune) to turn things around.
New Jersey Devils face a tough time!
The New Jersey Devils took to X on March 5th, and let’s just say… the news they dropped hit fans like a slap shot to the soul. The team announced, “Jack Hughes underwent shoulder surgery earlier today and will be placed on long-term injured reserve (LTIR). Jack is expected to make a full recovery and be available for training camp.” Oof. That’s the kind of update no fan wants to wake up to. Hughes, the heart and soul of the Devils, sidelined for the long haul? Yeah, that one stings.

The moment the news hit, concerns started swirling like a puck on fresh ice—because let’s be real; without their star player, the road ahead just got a whole lot bumpier. And as if that wasn’t enough of a gut punch, the bad news just kept rolling in. One fan summed it up perfectly with, “That’s brutal,” and honestly? No lies detected. Because guess what? Jack Hughes isn’t the only one stuck on the sidelines.
B/R Open Ice added to the chaos, sharing on X, “Dougie Hamilton ‘sounds’ like he will be out week-to-week for the Devils, per @DarrenDreger.” So yeah, it’s not just a storm for the Devils right now—it’s a full-blown blizzard, and fans are just bracing for impact. But this was just the beginning!
Fans concerned about the Devils and their future!
