Hamilton scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton has played well lately with three goals and six assists over his last 10 games. Two of those nine points have come on the power play. The 31-year-old blueliner began the season with a heavy share of minutes, but the Devils' defense has been virtually fully healthy since late October, and it's a talented group that allows the ice time to be spread around. That's meant Hamilton has averaged 19:15 per game since the start of November compared to 21:51 per game in October. It hasn't hurt his production -- he's earned 34 points, 148 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 57 hits and a plus-4 rating through 52 appearances this season.

Hamilton logged two assists, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton logged a multi-point effort for the second game in a row. He's played well for over a month, earning two goals and 10 assists across his last 16 contests despite averaging a fairly modest 19:07 of ice time in that span. The defenseman is up to 33 points, 144 shots on net, 56 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 51 appearances. The Devils' defense is deep and balanced, so Hamilton should have no trouble maintaining decent offense even with a drop in ice time.

Hamilton scored a power-play goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton has found the twine in two of the Devils' last three games, and the veteran blueliner remains one of the most productive defensemen in the league. He's recorded points in five of the Devils' last eight contests, tallying two goals and four assists over that span, and he's up to 31 points (seven goals, 24 helpers) over 50 games this season.

Hamilton scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton's sixth tally of 2024-25 opened the scoring at the 2:17 mark of the first period and ended his 19-game goal drought. He didn't have a point in two outings entering Saturday's action following a three-game assist streak. Hamilton has compiled 29 points through 48 outings this season.

Hamilton produced an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton is still listed as a top-four defenseman, but he has been under 20 minutes of ice time in 12 of the Devils' last 14 games. On most teams, that would be worrisome, but he has seven assists and a plus-5 rating in that span, and New Jersey's blue line is fairly deep even if it's not overflowing with high-scoring blueliners. Hamilton now has 28 points, 134 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 49 hits and a plus-4 rating through 45 appearances. While the drop in ice time is discouraging, fantasy managers need not worry as long as he remains on the top power-play unit and continues to contribute fairly well across the board.

Hamilton notched an assist, six shots, a hit and a blocked shot in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton might play as a blueliner, but there's no question he's one of the Devils' most productive offensive weapons. Even though he hasn't scored a goal since his two-point effort in a 5-1 win over the Rangers on Dec. 2, Hamilton's contributions on offense have been noticeable of late. He's recorded four assists over his last five games, giving him 20 across 40 games on the season.

Hamilton had an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton's offense is heating up again -- he has an assist in three of the last four games. The defenseman had gone seven contests without a point prior to this improved stretch. He's up to 24 points (12 on the power play), 112 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 41 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 39 appearances in a top-four role this season.

Hamilton registered an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton set up a Nico Hischier tally in the third period. The 31-year-old Hamilton ended a seven-game point drought with that helper, though his slump on offense hasn't cost him much playing time. He remains in a top-four role with power-play time. He's at 22 points, 108 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 36 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 36 contests. Hamilton is unlikely to repeat his 74-point season from 2022-23, but he's back to being a strong scorer from the blue line after missing most of 2023-24.

Hamilton picked up a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the second period as the Devils put the game away. After a sluggish start to the season, Hamilton has been locked in over the last six weeks or so, piling up five goals and 21 points in the last 22 contests -- including four goals and 12 points with the man advantage.

Hamilton scored a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton has three goals in his last five outings after scoring once in his first 21 appearances. The 31-year-old defender is on pace to record his ninth double-digit goal season. He has 19 points, 85 shots on goal, 36 blocked shots and 28 hits through 26 contests this season.
