"Phase one was, our goal was to get in the playoffs. Proud of all the work you guys put in to this point. Hell of an accomplishment. We achieved where we wanted to get. That's step one.

"Great accomplishment just getting in the playoffs. There's going to be 16 teams that don't do it. We're in there so awesome job. Awesome job. Well done."

That was the message Devils head coach Lindy Ruff delivered to his team in the locker room Saturday night following the club's 5-3 victory against Ottawa at Prudential Center.

On this night, March 25, the Devils punched their ticket to the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, becoming just the third team in the league to clinch a spot in postseason play. It's also the first playoff appearance for the franchise since 2018, ending a four-year drought.

"It feels great. The work you put in during the summer and the work you put in during the whole year to get rewarded," captain Nico Hischier said with a smile. "It's an empty feeling after an 82-game season when you're not in the playoffs. It's finally coming together so it feels good."

What came together was a lot of work from many people in the Devils organization, from players to the coaching staff to training staff to equipment staff to medical staff to hockey operations to ownership.

As the final stretch of games in the 2022-23 regular season is underway and the Devils are getting set to begin a playoff push, we're taking a look back and highlighting big moments and games from each month of this season that led to the New Jersey's first postseason berth since 2018.

What were three keys from October and the start of the season? More below on this edition of Three Things presented by GEICO.

The Devils clinched their first playoff berth since 2018 and celebrated by defeating the Ottawa Senators, 5-3, Saturday night at Prudential Center.

Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, Dawson Mercer, Dougie Hamilton and Tomas Tatar all scored for the Devils. Goalie Mackenzie Blackwood made 25 saves in a return victory.

Read the game preview below with lineup updates, videos and more following Devils head coach Lindy Ruff's pre-game media availability. 

Nolan Foote was drafted in the first round (27^th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning had also drafted his brother, Cal, in 2017, setting up a possible brother tandem in Florida.

It was not meant to be as Foote would be traded to New Jersey in a 2020 trade deadline deal. And the brother face-to-face matchup will also have to wait as the Lightning recently traded Cal to Nashville at trade deadline.

Still, when Nolan was inserted into the lineup last Sunday against the Lightning, the game still had a lot of meaning for the 6-foot-3, 196-pound forward.

"With my brother just there in the organization for five years and just got traded, I know a lot of those guys, met them through the years," Foote said. "It was pretty cool at the same time.

"Overall, it was a big showing for myself in Tampa Bay. The team that drafted me, that adds a little bit of pressure to it."
