Today I take a brief look back at the career of Bryce Salvador, including the injury that could have cut his career short. I also provide my personal thoughts on the man the Devils knew fondly as "Sal."
It was announced yesterday morning on NHL.com and the New Jersey Devils website that Bryce Salvador would not be returning to the NHL in 2015-16 for his fourteenth season; instead, he will head home to Westfield, New Jersey where his retirement from the active roster will begin. His last couple of seasons were riddled by injuries and ineffectiveness, as the wear and tear of the game as well as his age started to catch up with him.
