2003–04 New Jersey Devils season
Encyclopedia
The 2003–04 New Jersey Devils
season
was the team's 22nd
season in the National Hockey League
since the franchise relocated to New Jersey. The defending Stanley Cup champions, the Devils only allowed 164 goals, the lowest total ever allowed by a team under the 82-game season format. Like the 2001–02 NHL season, the Devils finished 6th in the Eastern Conference
and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. The Team started the season really impressive, winning 17 of its first thirty games. However, in the 2004 calendar year, they were 24-19-4-1, causing them to finish sixth in the conference, second in the division and lose to one of their division rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers
in five games in the quarterfinals. They were also marred by injured defenseman Scott Stevens
and Brian Rafalski
which also caused them to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
