In the deciding period, the Devils showed better defensive ability while scoring two goals to win the game.NHL Twitter gave mixed reactions to the Devils' achievement. Many showed happiness, but few predicted that the New York Rangers would do better."Only to get annihilated by the NYR", tweeted @RamettaJoeyHere are a few more tweets:ac 😈@lexluciaxx@NHL @NJDevils This feels good after more then 10 years of heartache 4@NHL @NJDevils This feels good after more then 10 years of heartache 😭JR2310@RamettaJoey@PR_NHL @AzrakMarvin @NJDevils Only to get annihilated by the #NYR@PR_NHL @AzrakMarvin @NJDevils Only to get annihilated by the #NYRAlec Silva@AlecSilvaWX@NHL @NJDevils Going to be fucking hilarious when the cameras pan over to crying Devils fans after getting knocked out of the first round1@NHL @NJDevils Going to be fucking hilarious when the cameras pan over to crying Devils fans after getting knocked out of the first roundx - Danny W@DannyDrums1403@NJDevils @CitizensBank LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We have been waiting so long for this to happen.

Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier have contributed 101 goals and have been the steering force behind the offense.On the defensive front, the Devils have done a fantastic job allowing 2.7 goals per game this season. All the goaltenders have played their roles perfectly, barring Mackenzie Blackwood, who has been slightly expensive.Vitek Vanecek justified his position as the No. 1 goaltender for the team with a save percentage of 0.909 and a win-loss record of 29-13.What's next for the New Jersey Devils?Even though the New Jersey Devils have achieved playoff qualification, there are many things still left that can be achieved, including the division title. They are two points behind the Carolina Hurricanes and will focus on surpassing them for the top position in the standings.The Devils have lost three of their past five games, and it will be a challenge for them to overcome their incosistency. It will be interesting to see how the Devils approach the New York Islanders game. Both teams are tied 1-1 in the two meetings so far, and we can expect it to be a tight affair as they take to the ice on March 27.
