The New Jersey Devils have never been swept in a seven-game playoff series since relocating to New Jersey. In 44 years, data from Hockey Reference showed that in all of the best-of-seven series, the team had never been swept.
The Devils failed to make the playoffs this season, finishing seventh in the Metropolitan Division with a 42-37-3 record and 87 points. The team scored 226 goals and allowed 253 goals against.
Heading into the season, according to Hockey Reference, the team had +1400 odds to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The team has won the Stanley Cup three times; their all-time playoff record is 143-133.
Of the 51 seasons, the team made the postseason in 2024-25, 2022-23, 2017-18, 2011-12, and for 13 straight seasons from 1996-97 to 2009-10, for six seasons from 1989-90 to 1994-95, 1987-88, and in 1977-78.
