This was the first time the Devils finished the season with a losing record since the 1990–91 season. Their 174 goals scored were the lowest ever amount for the Devils in a non-lockout shortened season. 2 Off-season On April 26, 2010, Jacques Lemaire announced that he would retire from coaching.Jacques Lemaire Retires On June 17, the New Jersey Devils announced that John MacLean would become the 19th head coach in the franchise's history.http://devils.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=531957 MacLean introduced as new head coach – New Jersey Devils – News 2010-06-18 2010-06-22 https://web.archive.org/web/20100622031351/http://devils.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=531957 dead On June 29, the Devils announced that former NHL player Adam Oates will be the assistant coach for the team for the 2010–11 season.Adam Oates named Assistant Coach On July 19, Ilya Kovalchuk re-signed with the Devils to a 17-year, $102 million contract. The contract was front-loaded with minimal payments in the last few seasons, when Kovalchuk would be in his 40s and unlikely to play. The deal was subsequently rejected by the NHL as a circumvention of the NHL collective bargaining agreement. The Devils stated after the NHL rejection that they would appeal the decision under the "collective bargaining agreement" process.New Jersey Devils http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=534764 Lamoriello statement on Kovalchuk signing July 22, 2010July 2026 medicmedic On August 8, arbitrator Richard Bloch upheld the NHL's rejection of the contract, rendering Kovalchuk an unrestricted free agent again.Kovalchuk a free agent after arbitrator ruling On September 4, the Devils re-submitted another contract to the NHL worth $100 million to be paid over 15 years. The deal was approved by the NHL the following week as part of an NHL–National Hockey League Players' Association agreement concerning contracts over five years in length.Devils, Kovalchuk finally seal the deal, [Miami Herald] Regular season An injury to Bryce Salvador allowed the Devils to avoid a major trade before the start of the regular season. They opened their regular season at home on October 8 with a 4–3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars with only 20 players on the roster. Subsequent injuries to Anton Volchenkov and Brian Rolston, as well as a one-game suspension of Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond after a 7–2 loss to the Washington Capitals, dropped the roster size to 17. The team and management have been under scrutiny for the decision to dress as few as 15 men (and two goaltenders) as a result of having too few funds for an average-sized roster. After an NHL-worst 9–22–2 start to the season, John MacLean was fired as head coach, and Jacques Lemaire, who had retired as the Devils' head coach in the off-season, was hired as interim head coach.https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=346655 DEVILS FIRE HEAD COACH MACLEAN, LEMAIRE BACK BEHIND THE BENCH 2017-12-07 https://web.archive.org/web/20121020023243/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=346655 2012-10-20 dead Following the trade of captain Jamie Langenbrunner, the Devils managed an astonishing turnaround. After the start of the second half of the season, the Devils saw a dramatic increase in offensive production, in addition to the outstanding performance by backup goaltender Johan Hedberg. The Devils turned their record around from 10 to 29–2 on January 9 to 32–32–4 by March 12, with a point percentage of over 80% during their 22–3–2 stretch. Following a win against New York Islanders on March 12, the Devils found themselves six points out of the final playoff berth with a game in hand on the eighth-placed New York Rangers, and a hope of making the playoffs for a 14th consecutive season had been renewed among the fans. The team faded, however, finishing 12 points behind the Rangers. With the injured Zach Parise missing 69 of the Devils' 82 regular season games, the team struggled offensively, finishing 30th overall in goals scored with just 171 (excluding three shootout-winning goals). They also finished 30th overall in power-play goals scored, with 34, and power-play opportunities, with 237. However, the Devils were the most disciplined team in the league once again, with only 241 power-play opportunities against, and they tied the Los Angeles Kings for the fewest power-play goals allowed with 40.https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2011.html 2010-11 NHL Summaryhttps://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2011_games.html 2010-11 NHL Schedule and Results At the conclusion of the season, head coach Jacques Lemaire announced that he would not return to coach the Devils in the 2011–12 season.Lemaire won't return as Devils coach Playoffs Following a 3–1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on April 2, the Devils were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 1996.
