The New Jersey Devils are set to face the St. Louis Blues on the road tonight, February 28, marking a special moment as forward Cody Glass will appear in his 300th NHL game. This milestone arrives just two months after Glass achieved the 100th point of his NHL career, highlighting his steady progress in the league.
Trade to Devils and Role as a Reliable Depth Scorer
Glass joined the Devils in March 2025 following a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins that also involved Jonathan Gruden. In exchange, the Penguins received Chase Stillman, Max Graham, and a 2027 third-round draft pick. Since joining New Jersey, Glass has established himself as a key depth player, primarily serving as a third-line center who contributes consistently on both ends of the ice.
Solid Offensive Production This Season
Currently in the 2025-26 season, Glass has recorded 13 goals and six assists, reaching his highest point total since scoring 35 points with the Nashville Predators during the 2022-23 season. Notably, Glass produced 10 points throughout January alone, including six goals, with two of those goals securing game-winning situations.
Impact Within the Devils’ Forward Group
Glass is a vital member of the Devils’ bottom-six forward unit, providing dependable scoring and demonstrating a strong two-way game. Together with teammates Jesper Bratt and Dawson Mercer, he is tied for the third-most goals on the team. His offensive contributions have been crucial in maintaining balance in New Jersey’s lineup.
Efficiency and Career Highs Since Contract Extension
Following a two-year, $5 million contract extension signed in July, Glass has been among the Devils’ most efficient offensive players. He ranks second on the team in goals per 60 minutes during 5-on-5 play, averaging 2.59 GF/60. Additionally, his faceoff win percentage has reached a career-best 53 percent, reflecting his improvement in critical game situations at age 26.
Looking Ahead: Glass’ Role in Devils’ Season Outlook
Overall, Cody Glass has made a meaningful impact since arriving in New Jersey and is expected to remain a key contributor as the Devils aim to improve their position in the Metropolitan Division. His consistent play and offensive reliability will be important factors as the team strives to avoid ending the season near the bottom of the standings.
