It’s been a rough few weeks here for the Devils and their fans, as the team has been in a bit of a tailspin. Since starting the season looking like a team that might have some dreams of being a contender, things have crashed significantly for the New Jersey. In their past nine games, the Devils have now lost seven games, six of them in regulation. What started as a few lackluster, penalty-filled efforts with some unfortunate tying/winning goals given up in the closing minutes has bloomed into a bit of an early-season crisis, as the Devils have looked utterly lost multiple times in the last week.
