New Jersey Devils: Who holds the single-season goals record?
The New Jersey Devils single-season goals record was set 14 years ago and the player was one of the biggest underdog stories in team history.
April 18, 2020 marks 14 years since the New Jersey Devils’ single-season scoring record was set.
For once, Patrik Elias and John MacLean aren’t atop of a record-setting list for an offensive category. Don’t worry, Ilya Kovalchuk didn’t break the record, either.
Brian Gionta set the Devils’ record for most goals scored in a single season with 48 back in 2005-06.
Not only did the NHL return after a year-long lockout, but Gionta’s offensive heroics were a complete surprise and huge understory.
