The New Jersey Devils played a hard game against John Hynes and the Nashville Predators. Both teams trailed at different points of the game but neither gave up either. The Devils are much farther out of the playoffs than then Predators are but they still showed they can be that scrappy team that gives teams fits. They are going to be one of those teams that can try to be a spoiler down the stretch.
They lost in the shootout 6-5 to Nashville, but not for a lack of effort. Nikita Gusev scored in regulation and in the shootout.
