GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Taylor Hall gave voice to the both teams squaring off on Saturday at Gila River Arena when he noted the similar predicaments of the New Jersey Devils and Arizona Coyotes.
"I don't want to say it's another season wasted because you always learn from playing," the Devils left winger said. "But it's another season without a chance to compete for a Stanley Cup so we're not in a position where any of us are happy."
New Jersey and Arizona will both miss the playoffs for a fifth straight season.
