The New Jersey Devils have had their moments since returning to play, but have found themselves on a two-game losing streak.
The Devils look more than respectable at even-strength but special teams, particularly the penalty kill, is losing them games. You wouldn’t expect much else from the team with the worst penalty kill in the league.
On Tuesday, the Devils took on the Buffalo Sabres for the fourth time this season. This would be yet another game where the penalty kill would be an x-factor for the Devils: the Sabres have the third-best power play in hockey.
