Want a sad fact about the New Jersey Devils so far? I know you probably don’t, but check this out anyway: after Saturday’s game against Florida, the Devils ranked 29th in the NHL in PK ice minutes per game at 7 minutes and 22 seconds. The team with the most PK minutes per game, Tampa Bay, was at 7:29 per game, only 7 seconds per game more than NJ. That’s like what, one more minor penalty over the course of the season?
The reason I bring this up is that it is obvious to anyone watching that the Devils have a discipline problem.
