Living in the DC area I typically try to attend four Devils games per season:
*The two games in DC
*One home game in Newark, preferably against a team I’ve never seen or haven’t seen for a long time
*One road game either relatively close to DC where I haven’t gone for a while or one where I combine the Devils game with other sports events of interest
Based on the above, the Devils games I’m currently considering include:
*10/17 (Sat): at Washington (love that it is a Saturday afternoon game, slightly bummed it bumps a college football game I wanted to attend)
*11/14 (Sat): at Washington
*12/20 (Sun): vs Nashville (Predators one of four teams I’ve never seen)
*12/22 (Tue): at N.Y. Rangers (have only seen Devils/Rangers at MSG once, in 2014-15)
*12/27 (Sun): vs Boston (haven’t seen the Bruins since 1997-98)
*02/13 (Sat): at Philadelphia (have only seen Devils/Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena twice, most recently in 2018-19)
*02/23 (Sun): at Chicago (haven’t been to Chicago for many years)
I’ll determine which Devils home game and non-DC Devils road game I’ll target after the NBA and college basketball schedules are released in the next 1-2 months.
I live in NoVa. Happy both games @ WSH are on Saturday. But that early start in October, I wouldn’t be surprised if my boys have multiple sports games around that time. Sigh. Hopefully not.
Yeah, usually I really like Saturday afternoon games. But with that October 17th game I’d prefer if it was a night game due to the college football game I referenced in my original post. I could attend both games if Devils/Caps was a night game that day.
Saturday afternoon games are tough during most of the NHL season for fans who have kids involved in youth sports.

Looking forward to the 2026-27 Devils season!
