After an overall dreadful last two seasons, the New Jersey Devils are finally showing flashes of the 2022-23 form that guided them to the franchise's best-ever regular season performance.
Now winners of six in a row, the Devils have beaten plenty of good teams, and even their opponents are beginning to take notice of how this group is playing.
Just ask star Minnesota Wild forward Matt Boldy, who scored his club's lone goal against the Devils on Wednesday night.
Boldy, 24, has been teammates with Jack and Luke Hughes on the U.S. National programs and Team USA, respectively, so he understands what he's up against about as well as anyone.
