Although they were eliminated by Carolina, no existing franchise has played nearly as many best-of-seven series as the New Jersey Devils without ever being swept. In fact, only four of the league’s other 29 teams can also make the claim that they’ve never been swept, and two of those teams—Columbus and Atlanta—have never even reached the postseason!
