Devils parting ways with GM Tom Fitzgerald

The New Jersey Devils are headed toward another offseason without postseason hockey. After making it last season, they are set to miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2026. This is a disappointing result, and unfortunately, general manager Tom Fitzgerald won’t get another chance to make things right.

The Devils are moving on from Fitzgerald, as first reported by The Athletic’s Chris Johnston. This news was confirmed by the Devils on social media, who released a statement from managing partner David Blitzer in the process.

“Tom and I had a thoughtful conversation today and agreed it was time to move in a new direction,” Blitzer said. “Tom changed the trajectory of our team here, including setting a franchise record for points in a season and helping make New Jersey a hockey destination. He is a well-respected leader across the Devils’ organization and NHL, and I am grateful for our friendship. I wish Tom and his family all the best.”

This is a developing story. More to come.
