Photo by Rich Graessle/NHLI via Getty Images Just as Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start to the Summer for New Jersey, Thursday’s press conference by New Jersey Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald and head coach Sheldon Keefe was the unofficial start to the 2025 offseason for the Devils. Granted, the offseason for the Devils started earlier but the larger point is the same. From here on to the 2025 NHL Draft, business will likely be kept to re-signing restricted free agents and prospects.

Our dry sunny spring has been lovely - unless you are a tiny lettuce of carrot seed hoping for enough moisture to sprout and thrive in the unusually dry soil. Typically, April Showers bring May vegetables, but this year keeping recently planted beds damp has been difficult. The dry air evaporates any water you put on before the seeds have time to germinate. There are a couple of things you can do to increase the germination rate of your seeds - now and in the future.

Photo by Katherine Gawlik/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The New Jersey Devils were not expected to beat the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Even I did not think they would. I predicted the Devils would lose in five games in the series preview. Unfortunately, I was right. Some of how it happened matched up with the expectations laid out in the series preview.

The stakes are obvious against the Carolina Hurricanes tonight. Win and keep playing into May. Lose and it is the end of the campaign for the 2024-25 Devils. The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils at Carolina Hurricanes, Series is 1-3 in favor of Carolina.

After this one, there is no guarantee of a third home game for the Devils against the Carolina Hurricanes. Support the Devils at this one as if there is no more games in Newark after this one. Victory will at least ensure one more time at the Rock in 2024-25. The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils vs. Carolina Hurricanes, Series at 1-2.

That was when the Devils prevailed 8-4 over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of the second round of the 2023 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. It gave the Devils some brief hope as they made it a 1-2 series. The game on April 25 was also Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes and that also made it a 1-2 series.

Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The third game. The New Jersey Devils are at The Rock. I request everyone there to be as loud as possible. If there is any lesson to learn from the playoffs for any fan, then it is that there is no guarantee there will be future home games beyond this weekend. Which is unfortunately a real possibility. Let the Carolina Hurricanes and the larger hockey world how much noise a New Jersey crowd can make. The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils vs. Carolina Hurricanes.

Photo by Josh Lavallee/NHLI via Getty Images Tonight is a crucial Game 3 in the first round series between the New Jersey Devils and the Carolina Hurricanes. All playoff games are important. However, this one is especially important for the Devils. They are down 0-2 in the series to Carolina. Historically, they do well in Game 3 after going down 0-2 with 7 wins. Winning the series, though, is far less likely.

Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images The second game. A crucial game in any seven-game series. The Winner of Game 1 has a chance to get halfway to a series victory and drive the opposition into a corner. The Loser of Game 1 has a chance to tie it up and make future games that more important. Plus, a home ice advantage can be temporarily reduced with this result. It is the New Jersey Devils at the Carolina Hurricanes once more in Raleigh for Game 2. Do better tonight, Devils.
