Nearly a month into the regular season, and the New Jersey Devils are still winning! After Wednesday night’s game against Vancouver, the Devils were on top of the Metropolitan and had three games in hand on the second place team, Pittsburgh. This also went along with a division-high goal differential (+11), thanks to the second highest goals scored in the division (42). Of course, last night’s brutal loss hurts that goal differential, but the winning start is still very much relevant.
The debate among many, including fans and pundits, is whether or not the winning for this team can be sustainable.
