The New Jersey Devils are coming out of the holiday break dead last in the Metropolitan Division. It has been another season of missed expectations. They were supposed to be a team that competes for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but that’s almost certainly not happening. Now it is about seeing development from the players who are going to be there for the long haul. Forget about what this team was supposed to do this season and focus on what they can do in the future.
It all gets underway Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
