Six…wins…in a row. The last time this franchise won six in a row Martin Brodeur was still in net for most of those games and Zach Parise(!) was our captain. That’s right…the end of the 2011-12 season was the last … Continue reading

Devils’ 2021-22 season crawls toward an official closing next week
