| It just wasn't the Devils' season. They gave up fewer shots than any team but had trouble scoring. They don't need a massive overhaul, just tweaks. | ||

| What could have been had Ilya Kovalchuk not been injured? They probably wouldn't have done much, but they might have stayed in a playoff spot. However it's probably not a good thing to rely so much on one player. | ||

| Nine straight losses and counting for New Jersey, pretty much ensuring their season is over. It almost makes you wonder if Ilya Kovalchuk shouldn't get more attention for the Hart Trophy since the team hasn't won since he left the lineup. | ||

| If you're going to lose, I suggest going the Devils route. They have lost three games in a row but have gained points in each of the losses. That's how you survive without Ilya Kovalchuk on the ice. | ||

| This is going to be a tenuous couple of weeks without Ilya Kovalchuk. There are a few teams below them eyeing a playoff spot that are playing better. Hang on to your hats. | ||

| They haven't been the same since Martin Brodeur went down. Johan Hedberg is not a No. 1. That said, they're also 23rd in goals per game. Brodeur isn't at the point that he can make up for low scoring often. | ||

| Nothing comes easy for the Devils right now but they'll take wins any they can get them. David Clarkson hasn't scored in 10 games and the Devils have lost seven of those. | ||

| Boy, Martin Brodeur can't come back fast enough. Since injured a little more than a week ago the Devils have played four times with Johan Hedberg and lost all four. Overall that's five losses in the last six games and they're getting close to no-playoff land. | ||

| They're starting to slow down from that season-opening pace with losses in four of the last five but are still just two points out of the East lead ... Martin Brodeur is two wins away from No. 666. This needs to happen. | ||

| OK, so losing 5-1 at the Islanders is ugly, but they stay up here because they've still won six of their last eight ... all in regulation, too. | ||

| Crisis was averted with Ilya Kovalchuk's return from the KHL. With Zach Parise already out, it could have been pretty ugly. ... Can the goaltending really hold up for another season? Martin Brodeur and Johan Hedberg aren't exactly the definition of youth. | ||
