The Devils were rolling in November, as they went 13-1 in one of their busiest months of the 2022-23 campaign. New Jersey also tied a franchise record for longest-win streak with 13 victories. The streak technically started on Oct. 25 with a 6-2 win over Detroit, but 10 of the 13 were in November. The feat was even more impressive when you factor in that seven were road wins and against some top-opponents. New Jersey beat the Edmonton Oilers, Ottawa Senators and Calgary Flames twice in the streak, and picked up wins over the Red Wings, Colorado Avalanche, Columbus Blue Jackets, Vancouver Canucks, Arizona Coyotes, Montreal Canadians and Toronto Maple Leafs.
If you ask the players what worked for them during the historic run, they'll credit playing as one group that stuck to the systems and found a different way to win each and every game. All good things must come to an end and the Devils lost on Nov. 23 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 2-1, after three goals were overturned during the contest. Regardless, the Devils showed they were for real, a true playoff-threat, and a team that could win any night after finishing as one of the bottom teams in the NHL the year before.
