NEWARK, NJ – After Monday’s 7-1 beatdown at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres, the New Jersey Devils possess the second-worst record in the NHL with a grand total of 22 points (9-13-4).
It’s year five of the Ray Shero era and most, well everyone, expected New Jersey to have more overall success by the time the calendar struck 2020 and not just for this season. In fact, it’s the second-straight season that the Devils enter the month of December with fewer than 10 wins.
Yes, the Devils were entering a rebuilding stage when Shero took over but are there reasons for concern?
