For the first time since 2012, the New Jersey Devils earned the right to play beyond the team’s 82nd game of the season. On April 5, 2018, the New Jersey Devils clinched a playoff spot in their 81st game of the season. A win and they were in and they beat Toronto 2-1. Ironically, the man most involved in the team’s offense did not get on the scoresheet that night. Taylor Hall was held pointless on that night, ending a then nine-game point streak. He was given the night off for the season closer in D.
