Injuries have hit the Devils and they’re hitting hard. With the team missing Andy Greene, John Moore, and Yohann Auvitu among others, the team announced that they have recalled defenseman Karl Stollery and forward Blake Coleman.
The New Guys
While new to the New Jersey line-up, both players have been playing nightly in Albany and exhibiting success, especially Coleman. Being a 3rd round pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, he is tied for the team lead in goals(13) and third in points(23), behind familiar faces John Quenneville and Blake Pietila. While he is a little older than expected at 25, he lost most last season due to injury and spent four years at Miami University (Ohio), meaning he has experience and could be ready to make the team.
