The New Jersey Devils' season came to an end on Tuesday after the NHL abandoned the rest of the regular season and announced plans to head straight into the playoffs with 24 teams.
Only seven teams were left out of the postseason under the plan commissioner Gary Bettman unveiled to resume the season later this summer. It has been paused since March 12 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Devils had a 28-29-12 record in a regular season that saw both coach John Hynes and general manager Ray Shero fired.
