“The good news is that Hamilton should help kickstart the Devils’ five-on-five offense. Though the Devils give some back defensively with Hamilton on the ice, they still averaged 2.87 expected goals per 60 in his five-on-five minutes this season. That ties Jesper Bratt for fourth-best on the team.” [Devils on the Rush ($)]
Prospect news:
Related, I’m told there’s been positive progress toward a one-year ELC with Arseni Gritsyuk and the #NJDevils
Now likely to sign before June as previously mentioned, still sounds like a deal for 2025-26. https://t.co/7ujY5dNLIs

“The Western Michigan Broncos would not be denied. It didn’t matter that Boston University had all the experience with 25 NCAA Frozen Four appearances and 12 championship games. The Broncos were making their first-ever trip to the Frozen Four and were not intimidated in the least. Sophomore Owen Michaels scored twice, and Wyatt Schingoethe and Iiro Hakkarainen each had a goal and an assist, and the Broncos won their first-ever championship, defeating the Terriers 6-2 in the 2025 Frozen Four championship game at Enterprise Center on Saturday.” [NHL.com]
