The 2009–10 New Jersey Devils season was the 36th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 11, 1974, and 28th season since the franchise relocated from Colorado prior to the 1982–83 NHL season.[2]

Off-season

[edit]

On June 9, 2009, Brent Sutter resigned as head coach of the Devils to become the head coach of the Calgary Flames.[3]

At the Entry Draft, the Devils traded with the Calgary Flames to move up in the draft and chose Jacob Josefson with the 20th overall pick.

On July 13, 2009, the Devils named Jacques Lemaire as their new head coach.[4] This was Lemaire's 2nd stint with the club. He won the Stanley Cup as head coach of the Devils back in 1995.

Lighting incident

[edit]

On January 8, 2010, a lighting problem occurred in the arena during a game between the Devils and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa Bay was leading 3–0 with 9:12 left in the second period when half of the sports lights went out due to an interruption in power on the grid feeding electricity to the arena, followed by a failure of a computer-operated lighting system that allowed the sports lighting system to function with the circuit breakers. PSE&G and Prudential Center electricians worked on the situation for 1 hour and 52 minutes but could not reboot the system. The game was suspended due to the lighting problem;[14][15] it was resumed two nights later, with about 3,000 of the original crowd of 15,129 in attendance.[16][17] The Devils, Tampa Bay Lightning and the NHL agreed to waive a rule prohibiting players from participating in an NHL-sanctioned event on three consecutive nights as per the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement. Tampa Bay won, 4–2, with Lightning center Steven Stamkos scoring two goals in the contest: one on Friday and one on Sunday.[18]
