The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team based in the Continental Airlines Arena of the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL). Originally founded as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974, the team moved to Denver, Colorado two years later and became the Colorado Rockies before moving to its current location in 1982. After failing to make the playoffs their first six seasons in New Jersey, the Devils made their first playoff appearance in 1987-88. After several early playoff eliminations, as well as losing a seven-game Eastern Conference Final to their archrival New York Rangers in 1993-94, the Devils won their first Stanley Cup in 1994-95, defeating the Detroit Red Wings in four games straight. They have since won two more Stanley Cups, in 1999-00 and 2002-03, as well as making another Finals appearance in 2000-01. Despite the setback, the team returned to the Eastern Conference Final during the lockout-shortened 1994-95 NHL season and defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, four games to two. The team went on to win its first-ever Stanley Cup, sweeping the heavily favored Detroit Red Wings in four games. The win was accomplished amid rumors that the team would move for the third time in their history. On April 29, 2006, the Devils won their first round Stanley Cup Playoff series against the New York Rangers, four games to none, extending their winning streak to fifteen games. The series was marked with strong play and several outstanding performances from goalie Martin Brodeur. The Devils season ended on May 14, 2006 with an Eastern Conference Semi-Final Game 5 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes by a score of 4-1. By winning Game 4 against the Hurricanes, Martin Brodeur is now in third place in all-time NHL playoff wins.
