New Jersey Devils Trivia Questions
1. Which New Jersey Devil played for the Danbury Trashers of the UHL before eventually coming back to play for the Devils in the 2006-07 season?

From Quiz The New Jersey Devils

Answer: Mike Rupp

Mike Rupp played for the Trashers for a few games during the lockout of 2004-05. Brylin, Madden, and Andreychuk never played for the Danbury Trashers during their two year history, 2004-05 and 2005-06.

2. Who scored the first hat trick in New Jersey Devils history?

From Quiz Devils: Before They Were Champions

Answer: Steve Tambellini

The day was December 3, 1982, and opponent to the Hartford Whalers. In front of the home crowd, Tambellini put three pucks past goaltender Greg Millen for the first hat trick in Devils history, coming in their 29th regular season game as a team. The Devils won the game 5-4. Bobby MacMillan would go on to score the second and third hat tricks in team history, and neither Lever nor Marini would ever put three pucks in net in one game for the Devils.

3. What was the name of the 1995 line that featured Bobby Holik at center, and Mike Peluso and Randy McKay as wingers?

From Quiz Devils: The Glory Years

Answer: The Crash Line

Big, dominant, and not afraid to hit or be hit, the Crash Line was an important part of the Devils first Stanley Cup win. Holik and Peluso would play in all 20 games (McKay missed one). The trio would combine for 23 points (nine goals, 10 assists) and would notch three game winners en route to that first Cup championship.

4. How many goals did Scott Stevens have in the 93-94 season?

From Quiz Devils' Hockey Stats

Answer: 18

Scott racked up 18 goals in 83 games played that season.

5. What is the first year the Devils qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

From Quiz For Only True Devils Fans

Answer: 1988

The Devils clinched a spot in 1988, with a win against the Blackhawks.

6. Against what team did Scott Gomez get his first hat trick?

From Quiz New Jersey Devil Scott Gomez

Answer: New York Rangers

Scott Gomez scored his first Hat Trick at Madison Square Garden against the Devils' long-time rivals the New York Rangers, only three days after his birthday.

7. Who are the two players who won the MVP award in the 1995 and 2000 Stanley Cup?

9. The "Kid Line" of the Devils inaugural season included Aaron Broten, Jeff Larmer, and who?

From Quiz Devils: Before They Were Champions

Answer: Paul Gagne

This trio of young guns combined for 51 goals, 78 assists, and 129 points while spending a total of only 129 minutes in the penalty box, proving to be a scoring threat whenever they hit the ice.

10. What do John Madden and Brian Rafalski have in common?

From Quiz Devils: The Glory Years

Answer: Neither one was drafted by an NHL team

Madden attended the University of Michigan while Rafalski went to the University of Wisconsin. While Rafalski had always been in the top 10 Devils' scorers, Madden finished 13th in 1999-2000. And while Rafalski made his NHL debut in the 1999-2000 season, Madden had played four games the previous year. In my opinion, teams everywhere should be kicking themselves for not drafting these guys. Madden was a Selke Trophy winner and was a threat to score every time he's on the penalty kill. Rafalski was an All-Star and was a great offensive defenseman who added spark to the power play.

11. How many assists did Jay Pandolfo have in the 96-97 season?

From Quiz Devils' Hockey Stats

Answer: 8

Jay had 8 assists in his first season with the Devils and played 46 games.

27. After making the playoffs for 13 straight seasons, the Devils missed the playoffs for the 2010-11 season. How many points did they score through the season (note: points are how teams are ranked in the NHL, goals are the difference in games)?

From Quiz The New Jersey Devils

Answer: 81

174 is the number of goals the Devils scored that season, 82 is the number of games they played, and 38 is the amount of games the Devils won. That leaves 81 which is obviously the amount of points scored. The way the points system works in the NHL is you get 2 points for any win and 1 point for any loss in overtime or shootout. 76 of the Devils 81 points came from wins, the remaining 5 points came from loses in OT or shootout. This was the least amount of points they have scored in a single season since 1990-91 when they scored 79 pts, except for the lockout shortened 1994-95 season where they won their first Stanley Cup.

28. In the 1987-88 season, the Devils were a perfect 3-0-0 (three wins, no losses, no ties) against which three teams?

29. How many goals did John Madden have in the 99-00 season?

From Quiz Devils' Hockey Stats
