Follow Todd on Twitter @ToddCordell.
The New Jersey Devils are no longer playing hockey, but some of their players are.
Most notably, Ilya Kovalchuk, of course. In Russia's tournament opener against Latvia, Russia had no trouble at all and filled the net with regularity en route to a 6-0 win. Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and an assist for Russia while Andrei Loktionov chipped...
Devils miss playoffs after going to Cup final
There's no mystery why the New Jersey Devils missed the playoffs a year after facing the Los Angeles Kings for Stanley Cup.
Key injuries to Marty Brodeur and Ilya Kovalchuk led to major slumps in the lockout-shortened 48-game season. The players who needed to step up with the stars out didn't. The team played poorly in overtime, and the penalty kill slipped from the best...

Kovalchuk helps out with big hit
One of the NHL's accepted truisms is that Ilya Kovalchuk is a preeminent sniper.
The fact he's scored 406 goals in 779 games, including nine consecutive seasons of 30 or more goals, is proof enough that Kovalchuk knows how to put the puck in the back of the net.
