The New Jersey Devils season finally begins on Saturday when they take on the Edmonton Oilers in Gothenburg, Sweden. Here’s five things to watch in the first week of the regular season.

The season is finally upon us. After waiting five long months, New Jersey Devils hockey is back on the ice, and this time it counts. There is so much to look forward to this season, but let’s bring things down a little bit. Let’s take a look at the first week of the NHL season.

The Devils and the Edmonton Oilers join the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers as the only teams yet to debut. That all ends on Saturday. Officially, every team will have started their seasons.

The Devils only have two games in the first week, mostly because they have to travel back from Sweden after tomorrow’s game. There’s so much to look out for on a weekly basis, so we will give you some storylines to watch each week.

This is the first week, and besides Devils hockey in general, here are five things to watch in the first week of the season.
