Blackwood's Resilience & the Montreal game

Can the Washington Capitals repeat their magical 2024-25 NHL season that saw them top the Eastern Conference? Can the New York Rangers bounce back from a terrible season? Will this FINALLY be the year the Carolina Hurricanes make it back to the Stanley Cup Final? And can the New Jersey Devils just stay healthy? Today in the Locked On NHL Metro Contenders Season Preview Special, Jon Chik (Locked On Rangers), Alex Wiederspiel (Locked On NHL Game Night/Devils), Zach Martin (Locked On Hurricanes) and Dan Holmi (Locked On Capitals) team up to preview the season for the Metro Division’s heavy hitters. They discuss the Hurricanes’ major addition of Nikolaj Ehlers, whether Alex Ovechkin can keep defying age, whether a healthy Jack Hughes and Dougie Hamilton can return the Devils to contention, and the Rangers’ attempt to climb back into the playoffs under the leadership of new captain JT Miller. They predict whether each team will go over or under their FanDuel points projections, discuss reasons for optimism, the stakes at play for each team if things don’t go well this year, major offseason transactions, breakout candidates and more!  Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

Similar to Brenden Dillon, Brett Pesce's first season with the New Jersey Devils was also solid. He wasn't afraid to block shots and knew how to handle himself. More importantly, he appeared to be a great mentor to Luke Hughes and his development.

Brenden Dillon's first year with the New Jersey Devils was solid. He provided defense, physicality, and veteran leadership. All of these qualities are crucial for a playoff team.
