Preseason bold prediction: The Devils will finish with the East’s best record
Pass, fail or incomplete? Fail
If it were Dec. 31, I’d feel good about myself. The Devils were 24-13-3 at that point, good for second in the East, albeit with a few games in hand. Since then, New Jersey’s season has gone off the rails. Jack Hughes, Dougie Hamilton and Jonas Siegenthaler all went down with season-ending injuries, and Jacob Markström has struggled since coming back from an injury of his own. The Devils have now dropped to sixth in the conference. They still look like a good bet to make the playoffs, but it’s already mathematically impossible for them to get the No. 1 seed. — Peter Baugh
