Ah, hockey is back. The 2026-2027 regular season is underway! Here are your links for today:

The roster:
“Training camp showed a Devils team returning in good spirits. It also showed the start of what the new Devils GM envisioned when putting together the roster. That’s not a verdict on the work yet. Thursday is when the Devils find out which parts of that bet survive a real game.” [New Jersey Hockey Now]
“I am very confident the Devils will be a playoff

Five of their first seven games will be played on home ice, and the opponent quality is about as poor as they could realistically hope for.” [Infernal Access ($)]
“While this is the Devils’ roster to begin the season, they will eventually have to make some decisions. Let’s break down their initial 23-man roster.” [Devils on the Rush ($)]

But here’s our best attempt to capture the spirit of the thing, as the NHL drops the puck on Game 1 of 1,344 for its 32 teams.” [The Athletic ($)]
