Yes, you read that right, although I’m probably exaggerating just a tad. Instead of the New Jersey Devils leaving Toronto on a two-game win streak and six-of-seven, it’s the Leafs that have now won two in a row. The shootout loss is the sixth of that variety for the Devils this year, although it seems like more.
At the end of the night, the Devils were still holding on to a playoff spot, tied with the Islanders for the first wild card spot. As the trade deadline approaches in just over three weeks, it will be interesting to see what the Devils do to try to add more offense.
