The New Jersey Devils have had a tough 2025-26 season. They started with high hopes for

the playoffs, but hit roadblocks with inconsistency and poor team structure. Now sitting outside

contention with just a 0.7% chance to make the postseason is been a letdown for sure.

Still, a few players have stood out and kept things interesting.

Rookie Forward Arseney Grypsiuk has impressed with 27 points in his debut, including 11 goals

while logging over 15 minutes per. Game. His speed and puck skills have created chances,

and off the ice, his fun personality and behind-the-scenes videos have won over fans big time.

Cody Glass has been another steady hand in the bottom six. After signing a two-year extension

worth $5 million, he's posted 21 points in 52 games despite injuries with 14 goals,

and strong defensive play. His faceoff wins at 53.9%, and game-winning tallies have given the

team reliable depth. On defense, Simon Nemek is emerging as a cornerstone. In 50 games,

he's not 21 points, a plus two rating, and nearly 20 minutes of ice time nightly. Highlights

include his first career had trick with an overtime winner, showing his smarts and rush-joying

ability even amid growing pains. These performances bring some hope amid the struggles. For a young

core like the Devils, this individual growth could build a brighter future, even if the standings

don't show it yet. Quick thanks to today's sponsor. See the description for more. No need to switch
