Devils Turn Up the Heat in the East

Carey Price has his sights set on a Stanley Cup run

 

The Devils have risen to third place in the Eastern conference standings, behind the powerhouse Panthers and Penguins. The Devils have a 25-8-5-1 record in their last 39 games. Though New Jersey does not boast a high-powered offense like that of the aforementioned Florida and Pittsburgh, they have been backstopped to success by the young Carey Price. The 22-year-old netminder currently leads the league in save percentage.

In the Western Conference, the Vancouver Canucks have made a surprising run to the top, as well. The Canucks finished in 14th place in the West just a season ago. Thus far, in the NSHL's fifth season, they have surpassed their previous win total, through 62 games played, and are a single point behind conference leader Anaheim.
