The New Jersey Devils were on a skid that became worrisome. The road trip got off to a very bad start at 0-3-0. Zero points for a week led to the Devils waking up in last place in the Metropolitan Division on Monday.
Was it going to be easy to get back in the win column right away? No. The Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the best teams in the NHL, winning two of the last three Stanley Cups. They have Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Things were looking dim going into it, yet somehow, the Devils make it look easy against them.
