1988–89 New Jersey Devils season



The 1988–89 New Jersey Devils season was the team's 7th season in the National Hockey League since the franchise relocated to New Jersey. The Devils finished 5th in the Patrick Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Playoffs
The 1988–89 season was a disappointing one for the Devils. Just a year after their Cinderella 1987–88 campaign in which they reached the Wales Conference Finals, the team failed to make the playoffs altogether, managing only a fifth place finish in the Patrick Division with a roster largely intact from the previous season.
