They've had our number since quite a bit before Pete got there. They've had our number pretty much since the Pete era started in New Jersey.
We had beaten them only twice since February of 2011. Both times were in San Jose. We actually had back to back wins against them in San Jose, two years in a row. Once in the 14-15 season, under the Hydra staff, and then when Kinkaid shut them out in 2016, in Pete's first season there.
We were actually 0-3-1 against them while Pete was our head coach. We won the lone game we had against them, while Pete was in between coaching stints here and there, then we've went 1-3-1 against them since Pete has been there. We didn't have a single win over them in the 4 times we played them under Pete. When Pete first got here, we only played a couple Western Conference teams more than once per year, then we didn't play the West at all in the lockout year.
I remember getting murdered by them while John MacLean was the head coach and we played out there. I think Joe Thornton even had a hat trick that game. We probably only have 3 wins against them this decade, while Pete has only been there for just over 2 years now.
