The 2018–19 New Jersey Devils season was the 45th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 11, 1974, and 37th season since the franchise relocated from Colorado prior to the 1982–83 NHL season.[2] The Devils were eliminated from playoff contention on March 15, 2019, despite defeating the Vancouver Canucks.[3] After missing the playoffs, the Devils received the first overall selection in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, which was the second time in three years for the team,[4] and selected Jack Hughes.[5]
