New Jersey Devils At The Deadline
New Jersey Devils (39-19-3) �" 1st, Atlantic…3rd Conf. What got them there? Well honestly a resilient offense and timely goaltending from someone not named Martin Brodeur for most of the season is what got the Devils to this point. When Brodeur went down on November 1st…did anyone expect...
