Devilish Debuts
When the puck drops at 2PM on Saturday, there will be a handful of Devils making their debut in front of the hometown faithful. Nico Hischier, Will Butcher, Marcus Johansson, Drew Stafford, Mirco Mueller and more are all expected to be in the lineup for Jersey's Team.
Fan Fest on Championship Plaza
The weather forecast couldn't look better to kick off the 2017-18 campaign, so come hang out with us on Championship Plaza tomorrow at 11AM. There will be a Budweiser Beer Truck, tailgate games, live music from Brian Kirk & the Jirks and DJ Sir William.
Red Carpet Arrival presented by Infiniti
The Devils will strut their stuff down for the third annual Red Carpet Arrival presented by Infiniti! The red carpet walk will begin at 11AM so make sure to secure a good spot along the red carpet to get player autographs and take selfies for your social media (don't forget to tag @NJDevils)!
