Many of the articles coming from All About the Jersey and other commenters in other places have not been all that positive recently, and rightly so. After playing some great hockey and giving themselves a decent cushion from a lottery pick, the New Jersey Devils have taken a sharp turn sideways, going 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. This extended skid has really caused a plummet in the standings, with the team now sitting in a wild card position in the Eastern Conference as opposed to a much more comfortable divisional seed. If the team goes 2-6-2 following the All-Star Break, they will undoubtedly be near the bottom of the Metropolitan and in a lottery position.
