The Devils lost their fifth straight, tying their season high with a 2-1 defeat against the Ducks on Sunday night at Prudential Center. They were eliminated from playoff contention for the third straight year earlier in the day when Boston beat Carolina in overtime.
"It's certainly not a good feeling by any means," Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "It's a reality. Right now, we can't dwell on it. We have six games left we have to focus in on and that's what we'll do."
John Gibson made 26 saves and the Ducks took another step to securing the NHL's best regular-season record.
The Devils got a great chance to tie the game late when Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm was called for delay of game with about a minute to play. Scott Gomez hit the goalpost from the left circle and Gibson stopped Patrik Elias in close to preserve the win.
"It's no fun," Andy Greene said after the Devils missed the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons. "We've been in this limbo for a while [on the verge of missing the playoffs] and when it's official, it's no fun. We have quite a few games left and we'll play for pride and the organization, the fans and each of us and make sure we come out every game and treat it as our playoffs."
The Devils had at least six good scoring chances in the opening 40 minutes, but Gibson was outstanding in stopping all 22 shots.
