Week 5 – Devils Up and Down Report

M. Brodeur Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report 2 wins stopping 18 of 19 in Tampa and then stopping 26 of 28 against Washington. Playing much better recently.
Y. Denis He had the week off but gets the call against the Islanders tonight.
R. Niedermayer Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report He had an assist against the Caps but left the game with an injury in the 3rd and will miss the next two. Normally, an assist would get a nice green arrow but the injury does more damage.
R. Pelley Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report Maybe if he did more than wrestle the guy to the ground on Wednesday. Why was this guy money for me in NHL 09?
T. Zajac Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report A goal and 2 assists this week. Overall he has 13 pts in 12 games..say it with me… MONEY!!
D. Zubrus Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report Thought he was a little too quiet this week
P.Elias RETURNING TONIGHT!!! WOOOOOOOO
J. Pandolfo Still Injured
Z. Parise Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report Had a heads up assist on Bergfors 1st goal on Wednesday. Put himself in the right position to make the play. He’s a smart player.
A. Peters Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report NEXT!!
N. Bergfors Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report 2 goals against the Caps. I think he’s doing everything he can with the time he’s been given to show us what he’s made of. This kid does NOT want to go back to Lowell and its showing.
D. Clarkson Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report He’s been too quiet for my liking. If fact, it seems like last year NJ was more willing to throw down the gloves. He did have a surprise shootout goal that won it in TB.
M. Halischuk Sent to Lowell, called back up but didn’t do much.
J. Langenbrunner Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report Plays smart, had some good chances on Wednesday and picked up an assist.
P. Leblond Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report Didn’t do much, didn’t get much time out there either. 4th line blows.
I. Pikkarainen Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report He just doesn’t look comfortable out there.
B. Rolston Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report STOP THE PRESSES, he got a goal. Wait, it was a lucky bounce and I don’t think it’s going to wake him up but in an interview I heard him say he wasn’t pleased with his play so at least he realizes he needs to be doing more. Point a game Brian..A POINT A GAME!!
M. Fraser Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report He’s logging some time, he’s not hurting us thats for sure.
A. Greene Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report He’s my biggest surprise, well he and Bergfors but he’s doing the job that needs to be done out there.
P. Martin Still injured
M. Mottau Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report He’s putting in the hours and while he’s not in the scoring card, the other teams aren’t scoring bunches so that’s what we ask from him.
C. Murphy Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report Found his way back to NJ but its temporary, especially since he adds very little.
J. Oduya Still Injured
B. Salvador Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report Like Mottau, he’s logging good minutes out there and keeping the other team out of the scorebook.
C. White Week 5 - Devils Up and Down Report He’s got the bulk of the minutes and proving to us why. He didn’t look good on the Caps first goal but got it together after that.
