New Jersey Devils strengthen depth ahead of NHL season

The New Jersey Devils are addressing past concerns of depth within their lineup as they gear up for the upcoming NHL season. Following struggles with fourth-line play last year, the team now features multiple borderline NHL players in their AHL roster, a shift that should enhance overall performance. Brett Pesce praised newcomer Sunny Mehta for his offseason work and intelligence. Additionally, teams are actively securing player contracts, with Tommy Novak signing a three-year extension with the Penguins and Collin Graf agreeing to a similar deal with the Sharks.
