The 2010-11 New Jersey Devils season was the team's 37th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 11, 1974, and 29th season since the franchise relocated to New Jersey to start the 1982-83 NHL season. The Devils posted a regular season record of 38 wins, 39 losses and 5 overtime/shootout losses for 81 points, failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 1995-96 season, ending their 13-season playoff streak. This was the first time the Devils finished the season with a losing record since the 1990-91 season. Their 174 goals scored were the lowest ever amount for the Devils in a non-lockout shortened season.
