The NJ Devils had a past 48 hours in back to back games that one was a pathetic effort in a 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators and last night a thrilling 4-0 Shutout of the NY Islanders. With the win they sit 5 points out of a playoff spot with a decent schedule remaining.
Timo Meier with another huge game for the Devils opened up the scoring and had a goal, assist, and a fight sticking up for captain Nico Hischier. Jack Hughes was brilliant notching a goal and an assist in his 300 nhl game played.
Alexander Holtz played in his 100th nhl game and scored the 3rd goal of the game. With this win especially against the Islanders it was a 4 point swing and still have a chance to make a playoff push, question is with their inconsistent play can making the playoffs this year happen?

Not for nothing but this season is driving me nuts 😮 the continued inconsistent play is inexcusable 😡 so many losses to garbage teams yet great wins at Dallas & NYI 🎉 LFGD Always and Forever 💥
I know its been pretty much a coin flip of what effort the team is gonna give since the coaching change + Trade Deadline but I really wish Fitz didn't sit on his hands for so long because I truly think if he made these moves 10-15 games earlier than he did, we'd be in a playoff spot.
Season is done, they have to go 9-1 and hope FOUR teams they're around play sub ~.550 hockey. That's a TON of help required. Gary's loser pt makes it seem closer than it is.
I don't mean to be negative, just being real. Anyone that still has hope, good on you. It's going to take a miracle.
This team has been SO FRUSTRATING. If we won against Arizona, Anaheim, Ottawa THIS month- we'd be sitting in a playoff spot right now. How did the team not get up for those games- each of those 3 games were winnable and the Devils just came out flat with no effort. They keep beating teams like Dallas, Winnipeg and I get my hopes up and then they lose stupid games to Ottawa this weekend with no effort. We're still going to need some luck and for Washington to lose a little bit, if we want to sneak our way into the play offs. Devils have not made this easy for themselves :/
We’re not making the playoffs at this point we should be calling up AHL players to get them ready for next year , and rest our injured guys.
We’ve been dead in the water for months now. If you thought this team was making the playoffs after like December you’re shot out
At this point they should be concentrating on replacing the GM and the Coach.
Ive been to 6 games.
Home opener, win versus Detroit
Loss versus Washington
Loss versus San Jose
Loss versus Anaheim
Loss versus Dallas
Loss versus Ottawa
I think it might be my fault. They were all incredibly frustrating losses
Going to be a long offseason hope most of the remaining games are played well and enjoyable to watch like last nights game. Pretty much gave up hope on the play offs after the California trip. Devils will be back strong next season. Lets Go Devils!
It was a nice win but the playoffs aren't happening.
Slim…but not none.
They can barely win two games in a row and they'd only be able to afford to lose once in this last stretch of games. It's not happening. That said, and I've made this point before, at least they know exactly what areas need to be addressed and Fitzgerald plans to go "big game hunting" to fill those holes (shutdown defenseman has to be a top priority along with a top tier goalie and probably get a new coaching staff). Right now, the Devils just need to focus on playing their best hockey and at least go into the offseason feeling like they're capable of moving forward and attaining success and not go out feeling completely frustrated and deflated. You want them hungry to get back in the saddle asap.
