A Win for Devils Fans Abroad - NHL Partners with DAZN to Stream Games Internationally
The New Jersey Devils and the NHL have announced that international fans can now stream every NHL game, including the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Stanley Cup Final, on DAZN, as part of a new multi-year partnership. The deal covers over 200 countries and territories outside of North America, making it easier than ever for fans around the world to follow their favorite teams and players. DAZN is a British-based sports streaming platform, owned by Access Industries and headquartered in London. Originally founded as Perform Group in 2007, it rebranded as DAZN in 2015. The platform broadcasts a wide range of live and on-demand sports, with a core focus on combat sports like boxing and MMA, available without pay-per-view fees. DAZN is accessible by subscription across various devices. As part of this agreement, will be integrated into the DAZN platform. This means fans outside the U.S., Canada, and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) will now be able to watch NHL games through on DAZN. For the New Jersey Devils, this partnership is especially significant. The franchise has developed a strong and growing international fanbase, one that stretches far beyond the Prudential Center in Newark. During last season's NHL Global Series, the Devils traveled to Prague, Czechia, where they opened their season with a win against the Buffalo Sabres. But beyond the victory, the trip highlighted the team's global reach. According to fans came from across the world, including Scotland, Spain, and even Australia, to cheer for the Devils. One fan, Mikaela Mackie from Melbourne, told 'We all know each other from Twitter. It's fantastic to connect with other people and have that common interest. It makes it easy to start that conversation and get along.' That common interest, of course, is the New Jersey Devils. The team's global appeal is also fueled by its international roster. One standout example is Ondřej Palát, Devils winger and alternate captain, who hails from Frýdek-Místek, Czechia. Palát has a strong fan following in his home country, and thanks to this DAZN partnership, his supporters can now stream all 82 regular-season games, plus the playoffs, with ease. Globally, nearly 30% of NHL players were born outside North America. Reaching that international audience has become a core part of the league's long-term strategy. Steve McArdle, NHL Chief Operating Officer, explained to 'Media distribution is at the core of our global strategy, and we are thrilled to partner with DAZN to continue to expand our global reach and engage with our fast-growing international fan base. Our shared commitment to innovation, gold-standard technology, and providing an exceptional content delivery service will allow us to deliver NHL content to hockey fans around the world on the platforms they prefer.' This new partnership not only benefits Devils fans abroad, it also supports the NHL's broader mission to grow the game globally, making hockey more accessible to the next generation of fans, no matter where they live.

Former Stars Defenseman Makes 10 Worst Contracts List
The Athletic released their annual list of the ten worst contracts, and former Stars defenseman Cody Ceci came in as the ninth worst in the NHL leading into the upcoming season. Ceci was acquired via trade from the San Jose Sharks prior to the trade deadline last season in a package deal that also included Mikael Granlund. Ceci paired with Esa Lindell in a top-4 role for most of the remainder of the year, including the postseason. Ceci's numbers did not look great during his tenure in Dallas, and while many of his skills were needed for the Stars to fill a role, he did not end up making enough of a difference to get Dallas over the hump. Now, Ceci signed a four-year deal for $4.5 million per season with the Los Angeles Kings, who are also looking to get over the Edmonton Oilers hump. The Kings have been eliminated four seasons in a row by the Oilers in the first round and are re-tooling with new General Manager Ken Holland. Ceci is a right defenseman, which are few and far between these days, especially during free agency. That is part of what fetched him this price, but general managers have long over-valued Ceci for what he actually brings to the table. The Athletic estimates his value at $1 million per season, meaning the Kings are paying over $14 million in surplus value over four seasons. Those stats get him listed on the list of worst NHL contracts. Interestingly enough, the aforementioned Granlund who also just left the Stars for a big contract elsewhere (3 years at $7 million with Anaheim) was one of the next five players who just barely missed the list. The Stars wanted Granlund back, but the Finn got paid well above his estimated value after a successful run with Dallas over the final months of the season.
