Although Patrik Elias and Kurtis Foster each scored a goal in the New Jersey Devils 2-1 come from behind win over the Winnipeg Jets is was Petr Sykora that had the biggest point of the night.
Sykora has been rejuvenated since returning the Devils this past off-season. He is thriving in his new role. He is showing why he was the best bargain of the free-agent market. Since he was drafted by New Jersey it seemed appropriate that he would hit the 700 point mark as a member of the Devils. It was even more fitting that the assist came on long-time line-mate and friend Patrik Elias’ game-winning goal.
Head Coach Pete Deboer reunited the two back in training camp and they’ve clicked ever since. The two were members of the high scoring “A-line” more than 10 years ago and even after all these years they still have chemistry. As linemates, Elias leads the Devils in team scoring with 41 points (16g 25a) and Sykora is tied for fifth with 23 points (10g 13a).
