Former New Jersey Devils defenseman Scott Niedermayer had his No. 27 retired in an emotional ceremony Friday night. Niedermayer, who played with the Devils from 1992-2004 before being traded to the Anaheim Ducks, won three Stanley Cups in New Jersey. He became just the third Devils player to have their number raised to the rafters, joining Scott Stevens and Ken Daneyko. Niedermayer totaled 172 goals and 568 assists in 1,263 games before retiring in June 2010.
