1998–99 New Jersey Devils season

The 1998–99 New Jersey Devils season was the 25th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 11, 1974, and 17th season since the franchise relocated from Colorado prior to the 1982–83 NHL season. Despite winning the Atlantic Division and being the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Devils were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

Regular season
The Devils' 28 regular-season road wins were the most in the NHL.

Playoffs
The Devils opened the 1999 playoffs against the Pittsburgh Penguins having only reached the second round of the playoffs once in the three years following its 1995 Cup win. They appeared to be on their way to a series victory against the Penguins when they led Game 6 late; but Pittsburgh's Jaromir Jagr, silent all series to that point, scored with two minutes to go in the third to send the game to overtime and later scored the overtime winner to ensure a seventh game. The Devils never recovered, never once leading in Game 7 before eventually losing 4–2.
