Montreal_canadiens_v_72a3
The New Jersey Devils have made their first bit of news since the lockout officially ended, bringing in veteran forward Mathieu Darche to training camp on a tryout basis. Darche brings a lot of experience, leadership and is versatile on where he can play in the lineup. If not anything else, he'll push the young guys such as Bobby Butler and Mattias Tedenby to earn their potential spots rather t...

Ilya Kovalchuk figure skates during KHL skills competition (VIDEO)

Via It's Always Sunny in Detroit  |  January 14, 2013
Before New Jersey Devils sniper Ilya Kovalchuk left Russia to return to the States for the beginning of the NHL season, he had to get something out of his system.  During the KHL skills competition, the two time fifty-goal scorer went Brian Boitano on the Ruskies and figure skated in  full hockey gear. Early word out of Gary Bettman’s office is that Kovalchuk will spend the first...

As short season nears, Devils search for offense

Via AP on Fox  |  January 14, 2013
The lockout-shortened 48-game season hasn't started and the New Jersey Devils are already looking goals. Not the type a team sets before the season. The Devils need the ones that cross the line, ripple the nets and get fans out of their seats. Truth be told, they don't know who is going to produce them. Much of the concern has to do with the loss of former captain Zach...

Devils expect Kovalchuk to practice Wednesday

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  January 13, 2013
Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said Sunday that forward Ilya Kovalchuk will be back in the United States on Tuesday, and he's expected to be on the ice Wednesday. Kovalchuk is traveling back from Russia, where he played in the KHL All-Star Game on Sunday, and will not be fined for his absence. Lamoriello said he did not violate the terms of his contract by missing three...

Kovalchuk finally rejoins Devils

Via AP on Fox  |  January 13, 2013
Superstar forward Ilya Kovalchuk is back with the New Jersey Devils. The high-scoring Russian participated in a scrimmage against the Devils' top minor league team on Wednesday, scoring a goal and adding an assist less than 24 hours after landing in the United States following a flight from Russia. While there was much speculation whether Kovalchuk would return to the Devils...

Roster Spots - Thoughts From Camp

Via Running With The Devils  |  January 14, 2013
  Training camp officially opened yesterday but due to the lockout, this isn’t your normal training camp. Decisions have to be made quickly on players trying to make the team and all the other roster moves that need to be made. The Devils open the season Saturday night in Long Island so you can see that there isn’t a lot of time for decisions to be made. Here...

Amidst Devils Successes, Key Failures Hurt the New Jersey Organization

Via Double G Sports  |  January 14, 2013
Before I took my first steps, the New Jersey Devils called the Garden State their permanent home during their inaugural 1982-83 season. Besides Canada and the Midwest housing some of hockey’s strongest markets, the Northeast puts up a hell of a fight. The New York Rangers and Boston Bruins are two of the Original Six teams with a tremendous following because of players who have...

Ilya Kovalchuk shows off his figure skating skills, or lack thereof, in KHL All Star Skills competition

Via Diehardsport  |  January 12, 2013
I have no idea why this is an actual event in the skills competition, but I have to believe that this will be scratched after this year.  Clearly they had never practiced together and the whole thing was sloppy and awkward.  Needless to say, Kovalchuk is not a very good figure skater and would be better off sticking to hockey.[Puck Daddy Blog]

New Jersey Devils leading scorer Ilya Kovalchuk will be back in the United States Tuesday and practice with the Eastern Conference champions Wednesday. Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello announced Kovalchuk's plans Sunday, just minutes before the Devils took the ice for their first practice ahead of the lockout-shortened 2013 season.
