The New Jersey Devils' 1982–83 NHL season was the franchise's ninth season in the NHL and the first in New Jersey after moving from Denver, Colorado, where they were known as the Colorado Rockies. The Devils first ever game was a 3-3 tie with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where first captain Don Lever scored the Devils' first ever goal. The team's first win would come against their new rivals in the New York Rangers. However, the new location didn't help the team overall, as they continued to struggle in the standings, finishing last in their division and third-to-last in their conference.
