Hamilton provided a power-play goal in the Devils' 5-3 win over Minnesota on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton bested Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson late in the third period to give New Jersey the 5-3 edge it finished with. That marker snapped Hamilton's three-game scoring drought. He has four goals and seven points in nine outings this campaign, which is an offensive pace the 30-year-old defenseman is capable of maintaining.

Hamilton supplied a power-play goal among seven shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton is picking up where he left off last season, when he sailed to a new career high in points based on 22 goals and 52 assists over 82 games. The Devils are just four games deep into the new campaign, yet Hamilton's lit the lamp three times to complement a pair of assists. While fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to maintain his otherworldly shooting percentage (20.0), it's safe to say that Hamilton is cemented among the elite of NHL defensemen.

Hamilton managed a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss against the visiting Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton scored a power-play goal, giving him two goals in as many nights to kick off the new NHL season. The veteran rearguard also ended up with two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minor penalty. He'll look to push his goal-scoring streak to three games Monday against the Panthers.

Hamilton scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton put the Devils in front 3-2 early late in the third period, ripping a slap shot past Ville Husso. After undergoing wrist surgery in the offseason, the 30-year-old defenseman appears to have picked up where he left off last year, when he tallied career highs in goals (22) and points (74). Hamilton will open the 2023-24 campaign on New Jersey's top defensive pairing while manning the point on its second power-play unit.

Hamilton underwent right wrist surgery recently but is expected to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 season, James Nichols of The Fourth Period reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton was injured at the end of New Jersey's first-round playoff series against the Rangers. He played through the issue during the team's second-round loss to Carolina. Hamilton amassed 22 goals and 74 points in 82 games during the 2022-23 regular season.

Hamilton suffered a "bad" wrist injury in opening round versus the Rangers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton played through the injury, as he did not miss any action, but his offensive performance in the postseason was a shell of what it was during the regular season. Hamilton had a goal and four points in 12 playoff contests after a great 2022-23 regular season campaign, as he set career highs in goals with 22 and assists with 52. Hamilton was second among NHL defensemen with 74 regular-season points and should be drafted as a top-five fantasy blueliner next season.

Hamilton scored the game-winning goal, added a power-play assist and levied two hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Rangers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton set up Jack Hughes on the second-period equalizer, then scored a goal of his own 11:36 into overtime to complete the comeback win. These were Hamilton's first two points through three postseason contests. The 29-year-old defenseman had a career year with 22 tallies, 52 assists and a plus-23 rating in 82 regular-season contests, and getting his offense going will go a long way for the Devils to make this first-round series at least interesting.

Hamilton scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton ended a three-game scoring drought in the third period, ripping a one-timer from the point past Darcy Kuemper to tie the game 4-4 and force overtime. The 29-year-old Hamilton finishes a career-best year offensively with 22 goals and 74 points, third most among defensemen.

Hamilton (illness) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Sabres, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton missed Monday's practice, but he's set to avoid missing a game. He'll play on the top pair and first power-play unit as usual. The Devils are dressing seven defensemen, which may help to ease the burden on the 29-year-old if he's not quite at 100 percent.
