Patrik Elias made his number, #26, one of the iconic ones in New Jersey Devils franchise history. Tonight, Elias’ number will be raised to the rafters to join the other famous numbers in Devils history. His #26 will be alongside Ken Daneyko’s #3, Scott Stevens’ #4, Scott Niedermayer’s #27, and Martin Brodeur’s #30. He is the first forward to have his number retired in Devils history. That ceremony will begin at about 6:15 PM ET tonight.
Elias completely deserves this honor. He is the franchise leader in goals with 408 and points with 1,027.
