In a typical season, the New Jersey Devils could possibly be fighting for the top seed in the Eastern Conference with nearly 110 points on the season. This season, however, the best the Devils can hope for is the second-seed thanks to the record-setting season of Boston. New Jersey comes into Boston riding a two-game winning streak and with four wins in the last five games. On Thursday night, the Devils trounced the Columbus Blue Jackets 8-1 with the team registering their most goals in a single game since 2019. Jack Hughes and Timo Meier each scored two goals in the blowout win.
“We have three more games before the playoffs start and we want to be perfect and ready to go,” Meier said after scoring his 39th and 40th goals of the season.
