The mascot is "NJ Devil", a {{convert|7|ft|m|adj=on}} tall devil who plays into the myth of the [[Jersey Devil]]. NJ Devil keeps the crowd excited, signs autographs, participates in entertainment during the intermissions, skates across the ice, throws T-shirts and runs throughout the aisles of the arena to high five fans.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newjerseydevils.com/2003/community/mascot.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060520080712/http://newjerseydevils.com/2003/community/mascot.html|archive-date=May 20, 2006|title=NJ Devil – The Official Mascot of the New Jersey Devils|publisher=New Jersey Devils|year=2003|access-date=August 30, 2006}}</ref> Prior to 1993, the mascot was "Slapshot", a large Devils [[hockey puck]] that interacted with the fans. The man inside the costume resigned after he was accused of touching three women inappropriately while in costume.
