The New Jersey Devils<\/a>\u2018 chances to make the playoffs as of yesterday are 12.6%. <\/p>\n

12. Point. Six!<\/p>\n

Who saw that coming after their hot start to the season? Not many, if any. The Devils\u2019 playoff hopes are dwindling by the day. And they\u2019re not doing anything to help themselves. The postseason isn\u2019t completely unreachable, but it\u2019s going to take a complete flip of the switch to jump the six teams ahead of them in playoff position and to displace the team in the second wild card.<\/p>\n

In the links, how the Devils\u2019 last tilt came to its usual crash. Plus, would any Devils be a hypothetical All-Star this season?<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Rasmus Andersson finally has a new home, pointed comments in Ottawa, and is Toronto trading a goalie?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do that hockey.<\/p>\n
