Originally founded as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974, the franchise relocated to Colorado as the Rockies in 1976 and finally moved to New Jersey in 1982. The name "Devils" was inspired by the mythical Jersey Devil. They initially played in East Rutherford but moved to Newark’s Prudential Center in 2007.

The Devils struggled early but found success in the 1990s under Lou Lamoriello's leadership, winning Stanley Cup titles in 1995, 2000, and 2003.

After a playoff run in 2012, the team declined and missed the playoffs for several seasons, with occasional appearances such as in 2017–18.
