Travis Zajac and Kyle Palmieri were shipped to Long Island for essentially a few draft picks to chase a Stanley Cup. As such, this Devils team somehow got even younger and they were able to get revenge for their loss on Tuesday with a great effort on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres. The new era of Devils hockey has been completely ushered in as this is now the kids' team, at least on offense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The worst-case scenario against a single opponent came to fruition, as the same mistakes that have plagued the Devils throughout the season against Washington again proved costly in both contests against the Capitals this weekend. While one was at least an overtime loss, each game was more frustrating than the last and the only silver lining is that they no longer have to play against this team.

The Devils got another point against Boston but they could have had two and the power play was a big reason their momentum was slowed significantly.

The Devils all but dominated Philadelphia for 50 straight minutes before hanging on for a late win and blew a tied game late against Washington. The process looks like it is getting to be more consistent as the Devils continue to re-find their legs post-COVID. They managed to capitalize against a reeling Philadelphia team and could not retain their game state for more than two minutes after scoring against Washington as the Capitals continue to vex the Devils through five games.

The Devils were on opposite sides of two hard-fought games this weekend as they split the matinee back-to-back against the Penguins. A poor showing on special teams during Saturday's game was upstaged by Bratt's successful overtime wraparound on Sunday to earn the Devils three wins out of four games this week.

Two almost identical games led to two more losses (albeit one in overtime). While each third period was played at a decent to good level, it was simply not enough to overcome early game deficits and lack of creation of scoring opportunities. The Devils need to address their 60-minute effort before the weekend series against the same Islanders that shut them down on Thursday night. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Devils lost to the Islanders 2-1 and lost to the Rangers 6-1 and did not really look like they had a chance in either game after a certain point.

The Devils dropped both games of a home back-to-back set against Washington and while their mistakes were not the same ones that led to some previous losses, it was clear that they were outworked in every aspect of the game for the majority of the time and couldn't capitalize on the many opportunities they had to earn at least a point.
