The best part of any yearbook isn't the awkwardly posed portraits of the graduates or the decades-old photo still used by the gym teacher; it is the section toward the back where graduating class members are given superlatives. As a former sports section editor of a high school yearbook (Hi-Way, 1995 Edition), this writer is undoubtedly qualified to construct this season's version of New Jersey Devils superlatives. The Hockey Writers will be releasing a more traditional end-of-season awards article soon, but until then, and without further ado, here are the winners of the prestigious 2024 Devils superlatives. While forwards Curtis Lazar and Erik Haula immediately come to mind, the clear winner is veteran defenseman Brendan Smith.
Brendan Smith had a goal and two assists and the New Jersey Devils snapped a three-game losing streak by holding on for a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night. Erik Haula, Ondrej Palat and Nico Hischier also scored for New Jersey, which won the season series 2-1. Jake Allen made 25 saves. “We've had a couple games with the lead in the third and we give it up,” said Hischier.
