SALVADOR TO SKATE FOR DEVS

The Devils didn't need to make a huge splash at Tuesday's trade deadline. However, the team hopes their acquisition of defenseman Bryce Salvador from the Blues will make enough of a ripple to remain atop the Eastern standings. "It's a big advantage...

LOU SCORES COUP IN LANDING BLUE

Disappointed Devil fans can take solace that the one deal Lou Lamoriello pulled off was something of a coup. They may soon marvel that he landed Bryce Salvador for Cam Janssen. Others already are scratching their heads. Sources say Lamoriello...

DEVS SNOOZE, LOSE

RALEIGH, N.C. - Little given, little gained, and a grand opportunity wasted. The chance to turn the surprising Devils into a Cup contender has vanished, and Lou Lamoriello must hope last night's loss is not the start of a telling verdict to come...

IT'S D-DAY FOR DEVS, RANGERS

RALEIGH, N.C. - The gallows humor wasn't funny. When Martin Brodeur left the ice after the Devils' practice here yesterday, Brian Gionta grabbed the goalie in the biggest bear hug he could manage. "It might have been my last practice with the...

1ST PRIORITY

WASHINGTON - Finally, Lou Lamoriello has the cap space to take on star rentals. The question is whether he can pay the rent itself. The other question is whether he risks upsetting the formula that put the Devils atop the Eastern Conference today...

REVERSING THE CURSE

The Devils who must score, did. Now their New York, New York hex is half-foiled. The failing common to the Devils' 10 losses to the Islanders and Rangers this season was their inability to manage more than three goals even once. They finally...

DEVILS HOPE THEY'RE DUE VS. HOT ISLES

It's beyond ridiculous. When the Islanders visit Newark this afternoon, the Devils will try for an 11th time to win their first game this season from either of their local rivals. This curiosity is the biggest blemish on the Devils' season. Even a ...

WIN & WATCH

Dousing hopes that he will acquire signed players such as Robert Lang, Brad Richards or Martin Havlat, Lou Lamoriello said Tuesday's trade deadline likely will be a rental market. "A lot will be determined close to the trade deadline," the Devils...

BRENT GIVES WEARY DEVS MINI-BREAK

The Devils skated briefly yesterday, perhaps finding a compromise between coach Brent Sutter's unrelenting approach to practice and the players' desire to get more rest as the season wears on. It's hard to criticize the Devils' approach. They trail...

TAKE THE LEAD

The Devils remain a work in progress, even while working wonders. In their climb to a share of the Eastern Conference lead, Lou Lamoriello's latest overachievers have even regained a measure of Brent Sutter's trust, for now. To do it, they smashed...

UNSUNG BRYLIN GIVES DEVILS CONSISTENCY

Sooner or later, each new coach learns Sergei Brylin's value. Not flashy gold, the Devils' current Iron Man is more like reliable stainless steel. Brylin is expected to play his 306th consecutive game this afternoon when the Hurricanes visit Newark...

GETTIN' FIRED UP

KANATA, Ontario - It's bumpy and wobbly, but it's still a roll. These Devils have ridden it within two points of the Eastern Conference lead. Only 24 hours after blowing a two-goal lead to lose a shootout, the Devils barely held onto the three-goal...

BLOWN CHANCE

There was no celebration for regaining a share of the division lead again. The Devils squandered another two-goal lead in last night's shootout loss. The Devils visit Ottawa tonight, and if they'd held onto their 2-0 edge, or the 3-2 lead they held...

'PERSONALITY' IS A BIG DEAL FOR DEVS

When Lou Lamoriello makes the deal his team awaits, he'll likely weigh more than just position, skill and salary. He'll have to gauge incoming temperament for the squad Brent Sutter wants. "I like a team that has a junkyard dog mentality," Sutter...

MARTY HITS 30 AGAIN

This record is now arguably unbreakable, 50 percent beyond the one he broke. The Devils were still a Cupless team the last time Martin Brodeur failed to win 30 games in a season. When Brian Gionta jammed home Jamie Langenbrunner's rebound at 2:14...
