Mike Cammalleri Needs To Be Motivated By Benching

Mike Cammalleri was benched for a home-and-home series over the weekend. Once he returns to the lineup, he needs to start scoring again.

Mike Cammalleri came to the New Jersey Devils to become a serious scoring threat. The team gave him a five-year deal worth $25 million on the first day of free agency three years ago.

Since he signed, Cammalleri showed serious promise, but was always hindered by injuries. In his first season with the team, he scored 27 goals in 68 games. His second season saw 14 goals in just 42 games.
