Two weeks and four games into the 2021-22 season, the New Jersey Devils look good. The sample size is small, but this team is doing a lot of things right and have just one loss on the season. It’s impressive that they’re doing so well while injured, too.
The Devils didn’t have two of their most important defensemen, Damon Severson and Ty Smith, for most of these games. Miles Wood, one of the team’s best players last season, has yet to make his season debut.
Star center Jack Hughes dislocated his shoulder last week and has yet to return.
