The moment that everyone was waiting for is here. It is finally New Jersey Devils hockey season. This season was a bit different going in for a few different reasons. One, is that everyone expects the Devils to at minimum compete for a playoff spot. Last year, people expected them to come in last, so that is a refreshing change obviously.
This season also is different because it is not beginning in North America. The Devils traveled to Bern, Switzerland and picked up a preseason win before coming to Gothenburg, Sweden to take on the Edmonton Oilers in a game that counts for two points in the standings.
