Devils’ Playoff Lives Suddenly in Serious Jeopardy as they Begin Western Death March

The Devils lost again last night. It was their 20th loss in their last 32 games (17th of those in regulation). A team once leading the division near the halfway point of the season and whose playoff odds were as high as 90% just a month ago now teeters on the brink of oblivion. The Devils have not spent a single day this season outside of the playoff picture but by next Wednesday, that could be the reality staring them in the face. It’s been a harsh turn for a team that has gone a long way toward re-energizing a dejected fanbase over the course of this season.
