The New Jersey Devils have clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The team will open the playoffs in Raleigh against the Hurricanes sometime next weekend.

There are still four regular-season games left – an opportunity to build momentum before the series.

“We’re going to need our best from every single guy to be successful there. That’s going to be a test during these four games to see how we can carry ourselves and raise our bar,” says forward Jesper Bratt.

“We're proud this group will still be standing when half the league will be packing up next week, but [we] recognize the challenge ahead and just want to keep growing,” says coach Sheldon Keefe.

Tickets for the playoffs go on sale Friday at 11 a.m.
