Why the Devils' Europe trip could be vital for team's success in 2018-19

"Brotherhood" became a theme for the Devils when they took a weekend trip to West Point, New York, prior to the start of the 2017-18 season.

The three days spent at the United States Military Academy provided the team the chance to build personal relationships off the ice just after the end of training camp.

Thanks to the NHL's scheduling, the Devils are going to have the chance for another team getaway prior to 2018-19.

The Devils will spend more than one week in Europe, where they'll play an exhibition game in Switzerland before opening their regular-season schedule with a game against the Edmonton Oilers on Oct.
