The Devils defense certainly had its bright spots last year, but one area that the entire blue line really did not focus on was hits, where they were one of the least hitting groups in the league.

UTICA, N.Y. - The Utica Comets waited 343 days to play a regular season home game at the Adirondack Bank Center, and while playing without fans in attendance, made the most of it, beating the Syracuse Crunch 5-2, Wednesday.
It was the first regular season game at the Aud for the Comets since March 11, 2020, when the team lost to the same Crunch 3-1, in what would be the final game of the 2019-20 season before the suspension and eventual cancellation of the campaign.
