As the New Jersey Devils gear up for the 2025 training camp, fans are eager to see how several key storylines unfold. With the recent addition of Tyler Toffoli, the Devils are looking to bolster their offensive capabilities. Toffoli’s experience and scoring prowess will be crucial as the team aims to build on last season's success. Alongside Toffoli, captain Nico Hischier continues to be a pivotal player, expected to lead the team both on and off the ice.

Another storyline to follow is the ongoing development of Jesper Bratt. After a breakout season, Bratt is poised to solidify his role as a top-six forward. His chemistry with Hischier has fans excited about what they can achieve together this season. Additionally, the performance of the young defenseman Luke Hughes will be under scrutiny, as the Devils look to strengthen their blue line.

The goaltending situation is yet another point of interest. Vitek Vanecek and Mackenzie Blackwood are expected to compete for the starting position, and the outcome of this battle could significantly affect the team’s overall performance. The decisions made during training camp will be crucial for setting the tone for the rest of the season as the Devils aim for a deep playoff run.
