New Jersey Devils will likely never hear about the "statement" ever again
The New Jersey Devils took on the Washington Capitals on Saturday night with an important two points on the line. The Devils and Capitals are expected to be the two teams fighting for playoff positioning at the end of the season, as they both rapidly improved their rosters in the offseason while also having young players coming into the lineup.
Washington took the first matchup of the season, beating New Jersey in October. The Devils got a win back on Thursday night, evening the season series. That put the rubber match on Saturday, giving a clear advantage to one of the two teams.
