OK they've had 3 straight losses, but they're 4pts clear of the Penguins, who've played 3 games more than the Devils. So why all the concern? The Devils don't have a long list of injured players.

I think he is concerned because once the team starts slipping it can sometimes be hard to right the ship. Frustration mounts, stupid penalties are taken, discipline gets tossed to the wayside, losses start to mount...it's like a stone rolling down a mountain...it has the potential to become an avalanche.
