The New Jersey Devils entered the city of Philadelphia with four straight losses in regulation. Their hosts and opponents, the Philadelphia Flyers, won four straight games before this one. The Devils were in the sort of funk where mistakes became costlier and the games became more frustrating. The Flyers were flowing and rolling in the games and up the standings. Twice, the Flyers went up by two goals on the Devils. It seemed certain at points that the Devils were going to lose a fifth straight game and fall even further in the Metropolitan Division.
