Notes
Ross first broadcast color commentary for the Devils from January 1992 through the strike-shortened 1994–95 season, prior to being re-hired for the role in 2007. On November 25, 2009, she called play-by-play of a game between the Devils and the Ottawa Senators, as Loughlin missed the game due to a death in his family, becoming the first woman to provide English language play-by-play for a full NHL game.[6] On May 23, 2017, Ross was relieved of her duties as the Devils' radio analyst, and Chico Resch replaced her.[7][8]
