Devils debut new black-and-red jerseys for 2026-27 season

NHL Game Preview: St. Louis Blues at New Jersey Devils with Line Combinations 11/05/2026.

The New Jersey Devils are set to unveil their new black-and-red Hometown Remix jerseys tonight at the Prudential Center.

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM EST against the St. Louis Blues.

The Devils enter the game with a 10-5-0 record, good for 20 points this season.

The Blues come in at 7-7-1, with 15 points.

This is the first time the Devils will wear the Hometown Remix uniform in a game.

The jerseys shift the team's traditional color scheme, dropping white entirely for a black base with red accents.

The Hometown Remix collection includes an accompanying apparel and headwear line, produced by Fanatics.

The Blues also unveiled their own Hometown Remix uniform this week, making it a league-wide promotion night.

New Jersey is coming off a 4-3 shootout win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.

Jack Hughes had a three-point night in that game, scoring twice and adding an assist.

Connor Brown also scored and added an assist in the win over Edmonton.

Brown has drawn praise from head coach Sheldon Keefe since returning from injury.

NJ.com Devils reporter Anthony Corona called Brown a "great luxury" for the team on the "Speaking of the Devils" podcast.

Corona credited former general manager Tom Fitzgerald with acquiring Brown as "one of his parting gifts" before his dismissal in April 2026.

Connor Hellebuyck started in net for the Devils on Tuesday, his first appearance before the home crowd.

Hellebuyck stopped McDavid in the shootout and closed the door after Jesper Bratt tied the round.

Arseny Gritsyuk scored the game-winner in the fourth round of the shootout.

The Oilers came into that game with an 11-2-2 record, the second-best in the league.

Edmonton had not lost a road game all season before Tuesday night.

The Blues, meanwhile, fell 3-1 to the New York Rangers on Monday night.

Adam Fox scored less than two minutes into the first period for the Rangers.

The loss snapped New York's four-game losing streak.

St. Louis has been unable to string together a three-game winning streak, a pattern that has followed the franchise for some time.

The Blues are without defenseman Colton Parayko, listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Forward Alexey Toropchenko returned on October 27 after missing time with an upper-body injury suffered on opening night in Dallas.

St. Louis rookie Colin Fitzgerald, taken 203rd overall in June, has 17 points in 17 games with the OHL's Soo Greyhounds.

Fitzgerald has eight goals and nine assists with a power-play goal and a plus-five rating.

He has 78 points in 128 career OHL games and is committed to Providence College for next season.

The Blues' projected lines for tonight include Dylan Holloway, Robert Thomas and Jimmy Snuggerud on the first line.

The second line features Connor McMichael, Mason McTavish and Jonatan Berggren.

The third line is Jake Neighbours, Dalibor Dvorsky and Pavel Buchnevich.

The Devils cleared their goaltending surplus earlier this week, sending Remi Poirier to Washington for a 2027 seventh-round pick.

New Jersey had claimed Poirier off waivers from Dallas earlier this season.

Poirier led the AHL with 52 appearances last season, going 27-19-6 with a .912 save percentage.

He never appeared in a game for the Devils, backing up a handful of nights.

The Hometown Remix jerseys are part of a broader NHL initiative this season.

Fanatics produces the uniform and apparel line for both teams involved in the promotion.

The Devils' black-and-red look marks a departure from their standard red, white and black set.

Fans at the Prudential Center will see the new jerseys for the first time tonight.

The game is broadcast on MSGSN for the Devils and on STLNHL, BN+ and ABC32 for the Blues.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster for the 7:00 PM EST matchup.

The Devils controlled much of the five-on-five play against Edmonton but penalty trouble late in the second period let the Oilers back into the game.

Connor Brown buried a rebound on the power play at 7:39 of the second period against Edmonton.

Jack Hughes followed at 14:50 with a shot off the crossbar and in.

The Oilers tied the game on a power-play goal from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins late in the second period.

Leon Draisaitl added another power-play goal in the third period to send the game to overtime.

Overtime was scoreless, featuring a lot of open ice for talented players on both sides.

The shootout went four rounds before Gritsyuk sealed the win.

Jack Hughes was stopped in the first round of the shootout.

Connor McDavid scored to put the Oilers up 1-0 in the first round.

Jesper Bratt tied it in the second round.
