Trivia answer

From 1D: The New Jersey Devils was the NHL team that began its franchise as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974. The franchise spent only two seasons as the Scouts before moving to Colorado in 1976. As the Colorado Rockies for six seasons, they made it to the playoffs only once. 1982 saw the franchise as the New Jersey Devils, and then won the franchise's first Stanley Cup in the 1994-95 season.
