The NHL may jump straight into postseason play or cancel the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Either way, a mediocre season of New Jersey Devils hockey is potentially over.
The Devils are currently 28-29-12 (68 points), which has them in last place in the Metropolitan Division. While disappointing, this was expected from a New Jersey team who’s currently still in the early phases of a rebuilding project with one of hockey’s youngest rosters.
To best evaluate how the Devils young squad is truly comparing with the rest of the NHL, looking at some basic stats is more helpful than a glance at the standings.
