New Jersey Devils 6 Takeaways Through 6 Games Of The 2026-27 Season

The New Jersey Devils are six games into the 2026-27 season, and it's hard to tell whether this team is great, awful, or somewhere in between. A 3-3 start suggests they are a middle-of-the-pack team. Likewise, some early-season struggles make it easy to think that the Devils could fall apart this season. At the same time, the 84-game season and a shortened preseason resulted in sloppy hockey for a lot of teams, and the Devils are one of the many still working through things. Six games, however, provide some takeaways about the Devils and how the season will play out.
