Some Devilish Luck

Last year during the offseason, I decided to dive into whether or not the New Jersey Devils were a lucky or unlucky team. Rob Vollman, in his work Hockey Abstract, proposed a formula for determining a team's luck during a season, and I thought it would be a neat idea to use that formula on our favorite team. Regardless if you believe in it or not, the data does have its uses, and so I want to do the exact same thing again. We know that New Jersey was a bad team last year, but did they also have bad luck to go along with it?
