DEVILS PUSH ZUBRUS TO START EARNING CHECK

It's really not Dainius Zubrus' fault Lou Lamoriello is paying him a six-year jackpot to play for the Devils. But still goal-less 10 games into his $20.4 million bonanza, the two-time 20-goal scorer is already threatening to test the patience of Job...

ARENA MAY BE BETTER - BUT DEVILS AREN'T

IN THE 2000 run to the sec ond of the Devils' three Stanley Cups in nine sea sons, the team's third defense pair was a still-interested Vladimir Malakhov and emerging rookie Colin White. Now, their first pair features Andy Greene and Karel Rachunek...

'ROCK'-Y DEBUT

The Devils' big splash in their Newark debut was a bellyflop. They couldn't match the moment or the setting. Now the team that has won only three games of 10 is on the verge of despair - or acknowledging that there are personnel holes to repair...

1ST STAR OF GAME IS ARENA

THE Prudential Center has more bells than Scott Ste vens ever rung, more whistles than Jacques Lemaire ever blew when a Devils forward ventured past the hash marks. The place holds 17,625, room for all the coaches Lou Lamoriello has ever fired...

ELIAS PUT ON NOTICE

The Devils move into their magnificent Newark arena tonight, and former captain Patrik Elias already has taken up residence in Brent Sutter's doghouse. Nine road games into his NHL coaching career, Sutter yesterday ripped the performance of the...

GOAL REVERSAL

Foul practice made perfect. Well-schooled on shutouts by being blanked in two straight, the Rangers and their worst offense in the NHL made the Devils their turnabout victims last night. They erupted with a Broadway Bonanza on Nigel Dawes' pair...

BULL'S-EYE ON GOMEZ

Heads up, Fester. Brent Sutter sounds as if he thinks the left-behind should resent Scott Gomez's defection, and that he wouldn't mind someone smearing him tonight, even if just for appearances sake. "I guess it doesn't matter that they were a...

CHECK OUT MADDEN'S SCORING!

The Checker King actually leads the Devils in goal-scoring. If Brent Sutter underestimated John Madden a month ago, he doesn't any longer. The 2001 Selke Trophy winner as the league's best defensive forward has forced his inclusion on the power...

GUERIN DOES IT!

It would be a first sign of changing times. If the Devils want to make a practice of spelling Martin Brodeur once when they play three in four nights, results will be required. Their first such attempt this season was less than triumphant last...

DEVS NEW HOME A DIAMOND ... IN ROUGH

The Rock is a gem. Absolutely. The setting is the issue, the crux of its creation being the $210 million the Devils received from Newark to use their fans as security test cases to launch the city's revival. After Bon Jovi opens the soaring and...

DEVS DO NOTHING

PHILADELPHIA - This was a different Martin B. stealing the show in goal, perhaps a sign of changing times in the Atlantic Division. "On the road for so long, I need to come through for the team sometime, and I haven't done that yet," Martin...

JOINING .500 CLUB

PITTSBURGH - This is a strange, new recipe that brought the Devils back to .500 on this season-opening, nine-game road trip. They allow plenty, and score more. "We had to score 11 goals in two games. Sometimes you have to do that to be successful...

BRODEUR LOOKS TO GET ON ROLL

Since 1994, when he took home the Calder Memorial Trophy as the National Hockey League's top rookie, the Devils have relied on the play of goaltender Martin Brodeur to help them win three Stanley Cups and make the playoffs in 13 of his 14 seasons...

ASHAM'S SCRAPPY PLAY MAKES SUTTER SMILE

He doesn't shout about it, but then, that's not really his style. The Devils' Arron Asham is quietly making the most of his chance to do more than muck and scrap. Asham, an Ojibway Native Canadian, has been one of the Devils' bright lights in...

ELIAS' LATE GOAL POWERS DEVILS

ATLANTA - The ugly victory was beautiful to the Devils, so desperate for one of any sort. Their old will to win resurfaced here last night. They refused to lose to the last winless team in the league and drop into a share of their cellar. Instead...

FUTURE UNCLEAR FOR DEVILS' WHITE IN WAKE OF EYE INJURY

ATLANTA - Colin White's vision is still blurry, nearly a month after a self-deflected puck hit his right eye. The Devils defenseman told The Post yesterday he's not even thinking about playing hockey yet. He's concentrating on getting his vision...

DEVS IN TROUBLE

SUNRISE, Fla. - The snowball alert is on. Off to their worst start since 2001, the Devils' season-opening road trip is becoming a hole from which they'll have to climb out. You keep waiting for the Devils' top line to come out, and one never does...
