The New Jersey Devils fan base began to see a glimpse of what the team could be with wins two impressive road wins against the Carolina Hurricanes and Winnipeg Jets. The lines began to play with chemistry, their special teams were efficient in both scoring and preventing goals, and MacKenzie Blackwood was a force in net. Everything that the Devils have been doing right, they did the complete opposite against the Calgary Flames.
The Devils could not get out of their own way as they awarded the Flames with six power play opportunities, cashing in on two of them.
