The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team based in Newark, New Jersey. The team is a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Devils arrived in New Jersey in 1982 after transferring from Denver, Colorado, where they had been known as the Colorado Rockies since 1976. Before that, the franchise entered the league as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974. The 2010–11 season is the 29th season of play in New Jersey. It is the 37th year for the Devils franchise, and including the team's time in Kansas City and Denver, the Devils have won over 1100 regular season games, 17th overall in NHL history.[1]

New Jersey played its first 11 seasons in the Patrick Division before moving to the Atlantic Division when the NHL renamed divisions in 1993. The Devils first qualified for the playoffs in 1988, eventually losing in the Conference Finals.[2] The team then made the playoffs several times after that before capturing their first Stanley Cup in the lockout-shortened 1995 season.[2] The following year, the Devils missed the playoffs, becoming the first team in 26 years to fail to qualify for the playoffs the season after a Stanley Cup victory.[3] Since 1997, however, the Devils qualified for the playoffs each season until 2010-11, a streak surpassed only by the Detroit Red Wings.[4] The Devils won the Stanley Cup in 2000 and 2003, and advanced to the Finals in 2001, only to lose to the Colorado Avalanche in seven games.[1] Overall, the Devils have made 20 appearances in the Stanley Cup playoffs in their 28 seasons in New Jersey, including 13 consecutive seasons between 1996–97 and 2009-10.[2] After missing the playoffs for the first time in fourteen years in 2010-11, the Devils rebounded the following year, making the playoffs again and losing in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Los Angeles Kings.
