The New Jersey Devils have had a decent amount of success against the Pittsburgh Penguin in recent years. The Penguins have been one of the elite teams in the National Hockey League for the past decade, and the Devils haven’t been all that good overall for most of that time. The biggest reason for the Penguins success is the fact that they have Sidney Crosby on their team. The 2005 first-overall pick is sidelined for six weeks after having hernia surgery.
The Devils will not face Sid, but that doesn’t mean they should take the Penguins lightly.
