The slump is not over.
Last night, the New Jersey Devils ended a winless streak by decisively beating Pittsburgh 5-1. It was not just the score that was great. It was in how the Devils attacked, how they possessed the puck, and most relevant to tonight’s “performance,” the Devils kept finding ways to win pucks, supporting each other on defense, and making plays even after the opposition scored or had a good shift of their own. They did not react to one bad shift or a goal against as if it was the end of the night.
