• Devils' Brenden Dillon: Registers assist

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Dillon notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks. Dillon has a helper in each of the last two games, giving him four assists through 12 games this season. Since the Devils welcomed Brett Pesce and Luke Hughes back from their respective stints on injured reserve, Dillon's ice time has taken a nosedive, though he's still listed in a top-four role. The 33-year-old blueliner has logged just six shots on net while adding 29 hits, 27 blocks, 22 PIM and a plus-2 rating. His physical play is consistent, but offense will be hard to come by if he slips down the lineup.

• Devils' Brenden Dillon: First helper with new team

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Dillon logged an assist, three hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. Dillon picked up his first point as a Devil in his third game with the team. The 33-year-old blueliner has opened his New Jersey tenure on the top pairing alongside Dougie Hamilton. It's a good spot and one that could lead to some trickle-down offense, but Dillon's game is based on physicality and playing a shutdown role. He has seven hits, six blocked shots and 11 PIM over three contests in 2024-25.
