The Devils won't have defenseman Dougie Hamilton in the lineup for at least a week, but they have plenty of firepower

The three Make-A-Wish kids, Natalie, Giovanni, and Darby, got personalized jerseys and gifts from the team, skating with the players during practice and having lunch with Devils alumni afterwards. They also got to shop at the Devils Den Team Store thanks to Fanatics, the official sports partner of Make-A-Wish.

The Penguins got only a point in New Jersey during a 2-1 shootout loss, but they're starting to make the point that they're a good team.

New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton will be sidelined at least one week with a lower-body injury, head coach Sheldon Keefe said Saturday.

The New Jersey Devils are off to a great start, tied for the NHL lead in wins with a 9-4-0 record. After a 6-3 loss to Carolina on Opening night, New Jersey rattled off eight straight wins in impressive fashion to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the league in the early going.

Coach Sheldon Keefe said defenseman Dougie Hamilton — who, according to sources, suffered a lower body injury during New Jersey’s 4-3 overtime win vs. the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday — only has a minor injury. He will miss at least a week, the second year coach added.

The New Jersey Devils have won seven straight games. They own the best record in the NHL at 7-1-0, and no one has more than Jersey’s 14 points.

The Pittsburgh Penguins tilted the ice for long stretches during the first and second periods, but neither the Penguins nor the New Jersey Devils were able to light the lamp more than once. The Penguins’ control limited New Jersey to just 15 shots in the first 40 minutes.
