The New Jersey Devils began its life as the Kansas City Scouts, which started playing in 1974-75. After two seasons in Kansas City, the franchise relocated to Denver and became the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies struggled and only made the postseason one time before once again relocating, this time to New Jersey where they remain today. The team has been much more successful in New Jersey and has made the playoffs 23 times since moving.

Along with those three Stanley Cups, the Devils reached the Stanley Cup Final on two more occasions—2001 and 2012.

Devils’ Defense Has Been a Horror Story This Season

In a decisive month like March, the New Jersey Devils need more than ever to secure victories and points if they still want to advance to the postseason.

It is still early to say whether changes in the team, such as Vitek Vanecek’s departure, the arrival of other goalkeepers, and Travis Green’s strategy as interim head coach, will have the desired effect on the standings and style of play, or if all of this was in vain for 2023-24.
