Tuesday night is as close to a must-win game that the Devils have had in a long time. They are currently sitting on a six-game losing streak and what was once the top team in the Metro is sitting in third now, just a point clear of a wild card spot. We can keep talking about how the Devils have multiple games in hand on most of these teams, but that is all for naught if they can’t start winning games again.
The last time these two teams faced off was just over a week ago, and the Devils blew a two-goal third period lead and went on to lose in the shootout.
