On June 20, 2017, the Devils revealed updated uniforms for the 2017–18 season. Made by Adidas, the new sweaters are the first major change to the team's look since they replaced green with black. They feature the removal of the stripes on the bottom of the sweater, and also thicker sleeve stripes with equal width bands of white and black. Martin Brodeur led the Devils to three Stanley Cup championships, and is the NHL's all-time leader in goalie wins, shutouts, and awarded goals. In their first eight years, the Scouts/Rockies went through ten coaches, none lasting two full seasons.
During the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, hosted in Newark, the Devils acquired goaltender Cory Schneider from Vancouver in exchange for the Devils' first-round draft pick. Schneider split goaltending duties with the 41-year-old Brodeur, which led to some controversy over who should be the starting goalie for the Devils. Despite Schneider's 1.97 goals against average leading the NHL, the Devils missed the playoffs by five points due to lagging offensive production. In the 2014 off-season, the Devils saw the departure of NHL all-time wins leader Martin Brodeur, who was not re-signed and subsequently joined the St. Louis Blues.

Their playoff run included a seven-game Conference Final series victory, decided in the final three minutes on a goal by forward Jeff Friesen, over the Ottawa Senators. In the Stanley Cup Finals, the Devils and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim had a back-and-forth battle, as both teams won all of their home games. The Devils brought the Stanley Cup to New Jersey for a third time, defeating the Mighty Ducks in the seventh game of the Finals in New Jersey. After the series, Daneyko, a long-time fan favorite, announced his retirement. Brodeur was awarded the Vezina Trophy as outstanding goaltender in the regular season for the first time in his career, having won 41 games in the regular season to top the NHL. In 1972, the NHL announced plans to add two expansion teams, including one in Kansas City, Missouri owned by a group headed by Edwin G. Thompson.
In the following season, on November 19, 1983, the Devils were criticized by Wayne Gretzky after a 13–4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. New Jersey's Chico Resch was the winning goaltender, and Devils defenseman Joe Cirella tallied a goal as the Wales Conference beat the Campbell Conference 7–6. Head coach Bill MacMillan was fired 20 games into the season, whereupon Tom McVie was named the new coach. The Devils won only 17 games and after the season, Doug Carpenter succeeded McVie.
Player signings
The Devils would go on to miss the playoffs for the third consecutive season. The Devils' longtime financial struggles worsened during the 2012–13 season, and at one point the team needed to borrow $30 million to meet their payroll. Andrew Barroway, the attorney who loaned the team the $30 million, was one potential buyer. Ultimately, the team was sold to Josh Harris, owner of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, and David S. Blitzer, for over $320 million. During the off-season, Kovalchuk announced he would retire from the NHL, expressing a desire to return home to Russia along with his family.
The team used the original uniform template worn from 1982 to 1992, but green served as the base color instead of red. During the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, the Devils acquired Cory Schneider from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for their first-round draft pick. The Devils present President George W.

Their first game ended in a 3–3 tie against the Pittsburgh Penguins, with their first goal scored by Don Lever. Their first win, a 3–2 victory, came in New Jersey at the expense of the Rangers. The team finished with a 17–49–14 record, putting them three points above last place in the Patrick Division. The Devils have been very happy with their starts to their past two games, and with their recent starts in general.
Now in the final two games before January, here are six questions facing the Devils, as they aim to add to their remarkable run. If Nico Hischier and Nolan Patrick are the top two picks in the 2017 NHL Draft by the Devils and Flyers — in either order — their first meeting in the NHL could come on Jan. 13 when the Devils host the Flyers. Recording 484 points with the Devils, Scott Gomez is the fifth highest all-time points leader in franchise history. The Devils rolled out a "Reverse Retro" alternate uniform in collaboration with Adidas during the 2020–21 season.
The man agreed to undergo psychological counseling for a year as part of his agreement to avoid trial. To remove the stigma of the lawsuit, Slapshot was retired and has not returned since. The Devils have a rivalry with their cross-Hudson River neighbor, the New York Rangers, as well as a rivalry with the Philadelphia Flyers.
They trailed the Flyers three games to one, but rebounded to win three-straight games and the series. This was the first time in NHL Conference Finals history that a 3–1 series deficit was surmounted. This series featured a hit that captain Scott Stevens laid on Flyers center Eric Lindros in the seventh game, which effectively ended Lindros' career in Philadelphia.
"It's been very positive, and very workman like, too. Guys know when we play the right way, we play well. We control the game, we control the pace and we're doing everything right."

The Devils will host the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Prudential Center to open the season. Along with kicking off the new campaign, it will likely be the NHL debut for the Devils' No. 1 overall pick from the 2017 NHL Draft — potentially Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier. This list does not include draft picks of the Kansas City Scouts and Colorado Rockies.
The Devils will make their first ever visit to Las Vegas to play the Golden Knights on March 14. It is the second game of a six-game road trip that starts in Nashville and finishes with stops in Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Jose and Pittsburgh. The Devils don't run into the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins until Feb. 3, but they will become very familiar over the final two-plus months of the season, when they play four times. Kyle Palmieri was the first player Ray Shero acquired in a trade after being named the Devils’ general manager in 2015 and he’s been one of the club’s most consistent goal scorers in franchise history. In 2006, the Devils purchased the ECHL franchise Trenton Titans, which was then renamed the Trenton Devils.
After Lemaire retired from coaching, the Devils announced that the team's all-time leading scorer, John MacLean, would become their new head coach. The League still penalized the Devils for trying to circumvent the NHL salary cap with a money fine, a third-round draft pick in 2011 and one future first-round pick within the next four seasons. Just a few days later, struggling captain Jamie Langenbrunner was traded back to Dallas after nine seasons with New Jersey. With the injured Parise missing most of the regular season, the team struggled offensively, finishing last in goals scored.
