The New Jersey Devils have an upcoming anniversary. Once the season begins, 40 years of hockey has been played in the Garden State. Once being in Colorado, an ownership group headlined by John McMullen brought the team to New Jersey. Since then the Devils have remained in New Jersey and currently play in the City of Newark. 40 years does not seem like a lot, but the franchise has endured moments that cannot be replaced.<\/p>\n
The New Jersey Devils have an anniversary. There is so much that has happened over 40 years and worth looking back on. Let’s go back in time and into the present about what memories are enshrined forever in Devils hockey history.<\/p>\n
This is for the original Devils fans. For the first time in the team history, they would clinch the playoffs. On April 3, 1988 they would be in a deadlock tie with their cross town rival New York Rangers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n After defeating the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> in overtime, the mission has been made complete and the team achieved something they have not done before. <\/span><\/p>\n Taylor Hall went on to do something that no Devils forward has ever done. That includes Patrik Elias<\/a> and Zach Parise<\/a>. During the 2017-18 season, he went on to score 39 goals, 54 assists, and 93 points. Hall would go on to win the Hart Trophy that season, outbeating Anze Kopitar<\/a> and Nathan Mackinnon.<\/span><\/p>\n Taylor Hall was pretty unstoppable for a few years there. #NJDevils<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/ICrpAzdswZ<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/pHWb3iMdIl<\/a><\/p>\n — JFresh (@JFreshHockey) August 6, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTaylor Hall<\/a> Wins The Hart Trophy<\/h3>\n
