AboutI grew up loving the game of hockey and eventually turned that love towards the NJ Devils. Since I'll never actually play for the Devils, I thought the next best thing would be to write about them, which is why I am here. Join me on the journey that I call "Running With The Devils"

Each Friday afternoon I am going to put together a Devil's Report card for the week. I was going to do this once a month only but I thought doing it once a week would track the growth of players better than month to month. This week is kind of harsh but I don't think anyone of the Devils played all that well.

2 Assists in 3 games. I do expect more from the big man especially being out there almost 17 mins a game |
| Zach Parise |
B
|
1 goal and an assist including a PP goal against TB. He also had a sick SO goal which of course doesn’t count |
| Rod Pelley |
D
|
Nothing yet, averages 7 minuts a game and has 4 shots |
| Brain Rolston |
D
|
He had that 1 goal in the blowout by Philly and has since looked a little lost. |
| Jamie Langenbrunner |

Like Rolston he had the one goal in the Philly game and nothing really since although he had the SO winner in TB. |
| Matt Halischuk |
D
|
2 games, 1 shot, nothing to show…I know, he's a rookie |
| Ilkka Pikkarainen |
D
|
2 games, no shots part of the horrific 4th line. |
| Nic Bergfors |
C-
|
He has 1 assist but hasn't really impressed but did look a little better vs TB |
| Travis Zajac |
A
|
2 goals, 1 assist, only guy shooting regularly and save their asses against TB |
| Jay Pandolfo |
C
|
He tries, he really does and he had a heads up goal Thursday night |
| Rob Niedermayer |
C+
|
Not a bad start, 1G and 1A and logs decent ice time |
| David Clarkson |

3A's and not many shots. I was hoping for more of him in front. |

Got the assit on the Zajac last minute goal with a nice play to keep the puck alive |
| Paul Martin |

Awful game to start and slowly getting better as the games go along. 11 GA 3.63 average is kind of sucky. |
| Yann Danis |

Overall I'd give the team a D because I didn't feel much from them this week. They got blown out at home, lost to a rival and barely escaped from TB with 2 points when they almost had 0.
