Overall, the calendar year of 2018 was a good one for the New Jersey Devils if only for making it to the playoffs in April 2018 for the first time since 2012. As for the final month of that calendar year, the results were slightly positive. In fourteen games, the Devils went 6-5-3. They earned 15 out of a possible 28 points. This is an improvement after a bad November from a results perspective.
However, the Devils are not that much closer to a postseason berth. They have begun the 2019 portion of their season well on the outside looking in.
