When the New Jersey Devils took flight to Edmonton just over a week ago, no one would have reason to believe they would gain seven out of a possible eight points. Starting out with a heartbreaking OT loss in Edmonton, it looked like it was heading in the same direction the season overall was going … down.
But after strong defense and persistent offensive pressure, the Devils skimmed by the Flames by just a hair. They then went on to Vancouver, a far less intimidating team, and beat them with an incredible and newly present offensive attack, Taylor Hall stealing the second point in overtime.
