Just a short post off the Devils news wire.
The Devils won all three games with me on hiatus,winning games against Washington,the Islanders and Ottawa for a six point sweep.
As I didn't see any of those games,I will refrain from comments and focus on the news that I have missed..
Patrik Elias returned to action after missing the seasons start,so the De
vils improved on offense.Matt Halischuk was brought back to the team after a one day trip to Lowell and brought veteran Dean McAmmond with him.
McAmmond had to sign a two way contract before the deal could go through and yesterday Tim
Sestito was called up from Lowell as well.
These moves were needed because Johnny Oduya and Rob Niedermeyer were added to the injured list.
The loss of Oduya is a damaging blow to the Red and Black with Paul Martin already on the IR and Niedermayer joins Jay Pandolfo as two of the top penalty killers on the sidelines.
The Devils attempted to slide veteran Jay Leach through waivers to add to the defensive depth with the injuries,but Leach was claimed by Montreal.
Leach isn't a huge loss,but the claim leaves Lowell shorthanded on veteran defenders and that could eventually impact the Devils in a pinch.
And what is with Montreal going after every Devil lately???
The Devils host Anaheim tonight and we will be here with normal coverage.
I hope to be back later with a story or two from the road,if time allows....
