Welcome to the 30th week of the 2020-21 New Jersey Devils prospect update! It was highlighted by Arseni Gritsyuk becoming a Gagarin Cup Champion when Avangard Omsk won the KHL title. The club rewarded him with a 2 year contract extension. Also, Akira Schmid stopped all but one shot in the opening round of the USHL playoffs as he remains on fire. Over in Europe, Benjamin Baumgartner’s move to Lausanne HC was confirmed and Nico Daws saw his season come to an end in Germany.

If March was a tough month for the New Jersey Devils, then April was an absolute nightmarish month. They began the month to turn their shootout loss at Boston on March 13 into a four-game winless streak. After winning a game, they lost ten in a row. The Devils went into the final week of their month of 16 games with just one win in April. One. And it was on the road in Western New York. At least the Devils picked up a second and third win in April before April ended. It does not take away much of the pain that comes with a 3-11-2 month. They earned eight points; only two teams in the league finished with fewer points in April. And one of those two teams was Vancouver, who only played seven games due to the Coronavirus. It was a horrible month for the Devils.

Nolan Foote spent the early portion of 2020 rehabbing an injury with goal of returning to play with the Kelowna Rockets, his junior team in the WHL, in that year’s Memorial Cup.
Then one wrinkle was added to the mix when he was traded to the Devils on Feb. 16, 2020, immediately altering the trajectory of his career. A few weeks later, COVID-19 shut down the world, along with his hopes of playing in the Memorial Cup.
