Any loss of points could be one too many in the Devils' situation, as they are 11 points behind the NHL playoff places with 15 games to go in the regular season. What is needed now is a winning streak and mental strength, which was evident against the Bruins. The Devils did not allow themselves to be knocked off course after trailing 2-0. With a shot ratio of 51:34, they dominated the game. Nico Hischier, Timo Meier and Jonas Siegenthaler failed to score.
The Dallas Stars with Lian Bichsel are flirting with the number 1 position for the playoffs. They are closing in on the slightly weakening leaders Colorado Avalanche, who lost again and conceded their third defeat in the last four games. However, the race to catch up suffered a setback with a 3:6 defeat against the Utah Mammoth. As a result, the gap is still three points.
Without the injured Kevin Fiala, the Los Angeles Kings managed a 4:1 mandatory win against the bottom-placed New York Rangers. The team from California would just miss out on the play-offs at this stage.
