This is certainly common knowledge for anyone who has followed the New Jersey Devils this season, but this team has one of the most anemic offenses in the NHL. Heading into last night’s game against Calgary, the Devils were one of only two teams in the Eastern Conference and 4 teams overall in the NHL to have scored under 100 goals so far. And this was coming from a Devils team that had played 43 games, which means they really did not have games on hand on most teams (some teams had played 44 before last night, and only one team had played 45).
