![]() ![]() On April 1, there was more of a fight put up by the hapless Blackhawks. A weekend on the road in Chicago and in Winnipeg. The regular season slate of games in April began with the Devils’ final back-to-back set of the season. As their month effectively ended yesterday, let us look back before the next one begins. ![]() Nonetheless, April is over and for the first time in a long time, I can say there will be action in May for the New Jersey Devils. This playoff series would take up the second half of the month and is clearly of more interest than any of those seven regular season games. They would lock up second place in the division to ensure a first round match up with Our Hated Rivals, the New York Rangers. While the Devils fell short of taking first, they would go 5-2-0 to set a franchise record in regular season wins with 52 and points with 112. They had seven games left in the regular season and a shot at taking first place from the Carolina Hurricanes in the Metropolitan division. Did the Devils rest on their laurels? Nope. A team that many of the People Who Matter would have been pleased with a team just playing some meaningful games in March secured a playoff berth on March 25, 2023. The 2022-23 season for the New Jersey Devils was already a massive success prior to April. ![]()
