The Devils have risen to each challenge they have faced during these playoffs, but it never gets easier this time of year.

Such was a lesson learned following a momentum-crushing 6-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday night at Prudential Center, in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series.

The Devils are now just one loss away from their Cinderella season coming to an end, while also tasked with the improbable feat of winning three in a row — two on the road — in order to advance.

Game 5 on Thursday night in Raleigh, N.C., will be do-or-die for the Devils, who have only faced elimination once so far these playoffs, in Game 7 of their first-round matchup with the Rangers.

“The most important game of the year is coming up for us,” Devils captain Nico Hischier said bluntly after the loss.
