The New Jersey Devils finished 2011 on a great note with a 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

With the win, New Jersey moves to within three points of the Penguins in the most competitive division in the NHL, the Atlantic Division.

New Jersey stands in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, one spot behind the Penguins and another behind the Philadelphia Flyers who are set for their showdown with the conference-leading New York Rangers in the 2012 Winter Classic.

The Devils have had a great stretch in the past couple weeks and seem to be doing all the right things to claw their way up the ladder.

Their win over the Penguins should offer a few valuable lessons that they can use to develop even further on their quest for the Atlantic Division and ultimately the playoffs.
