The New Jersey Devils have been playing spoiler for the past few weeks, taking wins from the likes of the New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Washington Capitals. To record wins over these teams (including a bunch of bad ones) in a five-week span is very impressive. If this season didn’t start quite as disastrously as it did, we could be in the midst of a possible playoff push to finish the season.
Yet, Devils play-by-play man Steve Cangialosi still made the comment at the end of the Devils win over the Rangers on Saturday night that there was still a chance, although slim.
